MyModes – for even more everyday flexibility
MyModes: complementing your prosthesis perfectly
Ottobock’s mechatronic prostheses open up a broad spectrum of possibilities for users. If you wear a C-Leg 4 or Genium knee joint, you can benefit from the unique option of using additional settings called MyModes, which supplement the tailored basic settings. You can use the MyModes to make your joint’s functions even more individual and adapt them to your very own daily routine.
Flexible at work and in your free time thanks to MyModes
Together with your O&P professional, you determine which settings will provide the best support for your lifestyle according to your needs and preferences. It doesn’t matter whether you choose pre-settings that suit your recreational sports activities or that support recurring tasks you carry out as part of your work routine. Whether you’re moving from the lifting platform to a mechanic’s creeper or from the beach bar to a surfboard – you can switch from one mode to another in no time. Individual MyModes can also be helpful during prosthesis training with your therapist.
Control prosthesis functions yourself
Whether you use the Cockpit app on your Android-based smartphone, the convenient remote control or simple movement patterns: You decide how you want to switch between your preset modes on a day-to-day basis.

Frequently asked questions regarding MyModes
-
Are MyModes more suitable for athletic prosthesis wearers?

While some users use the pre-settings for sports activities such as cycling, golf or surfing, others choose settings that benefit their working lives, such as the special position a car mechanic needs to assume while repairing a motor. MyModes are used to define the function required for an activity, which can in turn be beneficial in a wide variety of everyday situations.
