The groundbreaking innovations of Lunaris, backed by clinical research, highlight a multitude of benefits for individuals with lower limb amputations. These advantages are likely related to the ankle joint and its flexibility1, which provide a more natural gait during walking. These insights underscore Lunaris as a leading prosthetic solution that not only addresses functional aspects but also enhances the overall walking experience for users.
Find out more about our clinical findings below :
Compared to a traditional prosthesis, the walking pattern of Lunaris is much closer to that of a human ankle2. An individual-based case study demonstrated that after several weeks of use, the user had regained a walking pattern closer to that of an able-bodied person2.

An immediat increase in comfort and a decrease in fatigue were observed when walking on flat and slopingsurfaces compared to the current prosthesis of the participants1.
Whether for transtibial or transfemoral amputations, users rated Lunaris above average in terms of usability, even without prior familiarity with the device1.

Thanks to these studies, the many benefits of Lunaris were highlighted, and testers are highly likely to recommend this prosthesis to others1.
