What is a transfemoral prosthesis?

A transfemoral (above-knee) prosthesis replaces the limb above the knee joint after amputation, requiring a prosthetic knee, socket, pylon, and foot system.

What is a trans-tibial prosthesis?

A trans-tibial (below-knee) prosthesis replaces the limb below the knee. The M1 Leg by Medline Robotics is India's leading trans-tibial prosthetic.

Does Medline Robotics offer above-knee prosthetics?

Medline Robotics specialises in the M1 Leg trans-tibial system and can refer patients with transfemoral amputations to appropriate specialists through its network.

Why M1 Leg

Core M1 Leg Advantages

The M1 Leg by Medline Robotics is India's only government-patented, self-powered, AI-driven prosthetic — engineered for real Indian patients and real Indian conditions.

Self-Powered

No battery. No charging. The M1 Leg harvests energy from your own movement — the only prosthetic in India to do so. Government of India patented.

AI Terrain Control

Onboard AI classifies terrain in real time — adjusting gait for flat roads, slopes, steps, and uneven ground automatically.

IP67 Waterproof

Monsoon rain, wet fields, and coastal humidity — the M1 Leg's IP67 rating handles Indian conditions that destroy other prosthetics.

CDSCO Approved

Fully compliant with Indian medical device regulations. ISO 13485:2016 certified. IIT Delhi backed. Made in India.

Understanding Amputation Levels

Transfemoral vs Trans-Tibial

Amputation level determines prosthetic complexity. Trans-tibial (below-knee) amputees retain the knee joint, enabling more natural gait with the right prosthetic. The M1 Leg is engineered precisely for this population — delivering AI-assisted terrain adaptation and self-powered energy harvesting.

Trans-Tibial (Below-Knee)

Knee joint preserved. Prosthetic replaces foot and lower leg. The M1 Leg is the gold standard for this level in India — self-powered, AI-terrain adaptive, IP67 waterproof.

Transfemoral (Above-Knee)

Requires prosthetic knee, socket, pylon, and foot. More complex gait rehabilitation. Medline Robotics provides clinical guidance and referrals for above-knee amputees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

Transfemoral refers to above-knee amputation; trans-tibial refers to below-knee. The M1 Leg is designed specifically for trans-tibial (below-knee) amputees.

Yes. The M1 Leg is engineered for trans-tibial (below-knee) amputees. It provides AI terrain management, self-powered energy harvesting, and IP67 waterproofing.

Above-knee amputees require a prosthetic knee unit in addition to a foot. Medline Robotics can guide above-knee amputees to appropriate solutions through its clinical network.

Initial assessment and casting typically takes one day. Fabrication and first fitting take 7–14 days depending on the prosthetic type and customisation required.

Yes. The M1 Leg's AI terrain system and self-powered design make it suitable for walking, climbing stairs, uneven ground, and light work activities.
