- Click ‘Get Form’ to open the microprocessor knee patient evaluation protocol in the editor.
- Begin by filling out the Practitioner Information section at the top of Page 2. Enter your professional contact details accurately.
- Next, have the patient complete their personal and medical history in the Patient Information section. Ensure all fields are filled out, including social security number and date of birth.
- On Page 3, guide the patient to assess their current prosthesis in the Prosthetics Activity & Comfort Assessment section. If they are a new amputee without a prosthesis, instruct them to mark 'NA'.
- Proceed to Page 4 for the Functional and Gait Evaluation. This should be completed by you as the practitioner, noting any gait deviations observed during assessment.
- Continue through Pages 5 to 8, completing evaluations on prosthetic components, recommendations, activities of daily living justification, and functional requirements verification as necessary.

What is the difference between microprocessor knees and polycentric knees?
Single Axis is the most common prosthetic knee joint. The majority of microprocessor knees as single axis. Multi axial knees (polycentric knees) can shorten the prosthesis when in swing, reducing the risk of tripping and falling. Polycentric knee units can meet the needs of various users from low to high activity.
What is a microprocessor knee?
A microprocessor knee monitors where you are in your gait cycle, and adjusts for the support you need. Your microprocessor knee will be programmed to your gait (your prosthetist will do this after having you walk in your new knee system).
What is the difference between kinematic and mechanical knee alignment?
Mechanical alignment (MA), the classical method proposed by Insall et al. [5], aims to create a neutral hip-knee-ankle (HKA) axis. Kinematic alignment (KA) in TKA is an alternative technique to MA, which attempts to maintain the natural kinematic axis and ligament balance of the individual knee.
What is a microprocessor knee justification?
Microprocessor controlled knees can be activated only in swing phase, stance phase, or can provide both swing- and stance-phase control. The proposed benefits of MPKs compared with NMPKs include improved overall stability when standing and walking (e.g., navigation of ramps, stairs, and uneven terrain).
Does Medicare cover microprocessor knees?
On September 1, Medicare expanded its coverage of microprocessor knees (MPKs) to include K2-level amputees. This isnt just a win for K2 ambulators, who make up a large segment of the lower-limb amputee population.

What is a mechanical knee?
Mechanical Prosthetic Knees For most amputees, safety and stability are at their mind first and foremost. Mechanical prosthetic knees are manually locked during walking or movement and the patient releases the lock mechanism to sit down. These types of knees are designed for less active patients.
