Össur’s Symbionic Leg® has received the 2012 Best of What’s New Award from Popular Science magazine. The Symbionic Leg combines a microprocessor knee and a powered flexion ankle with artificial intelligence systems and motion sensors that enable it to learn the user’s walking style and make immediate adjustments according to changes in speed, stride, or surface.
“For 25 years, Popular Science has honored the innovations…that make a positive impact on our world today and challenge our view of what’s possible in the future.” said Jacob Ward, editor in chief of Popular Science. “The Best of What’s New Award is the magazine’s top honor and the 100 winners, chosen from among thousands of entrants, each a revolution in its field.”
“We are honored that Popular Science has recognized the significance of the Symbionic Leg, which is our most advanced product to date,” said Jon Sigurdsson, Össur president and CEO.
