Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male or Female age 22-65.
* The patient must have a unilateral transfemoral amputation .
* The patient must have the ability to ambulate at variable cadence (an expected lower extremity prosthesis functional level of K3 or above).
* The patient must have adequate socket to support the device.

Exclusion Criteria

* Women who are pregnant.
* Severe co morbidity, atypical skeletal anatomy, or poor general physical/mental health that, in the opinion of the Investigator, will not allow the subject to be a good study candidate (i.e. other disease processes, mental capacity, substance abuse, shortened life expectancy, vulnerable patient population, BMI \>40, etc.).
