The FALCON-S knee joint is a monocentric knee joint with a hydrauliccylinder used for prosthetics after amputation above the knee.
The hydraulic system controls the transfer phase and provides the support phase.
The level ofdamping of flexion, extension and support is adjusted individually. This ensures a comfortable rideover a wide range of speeds.
A motorcycle accident took Dmytro's leg — and changed his life forever. He received his first prosthesis, and that experience turned out to be more than just a difficult trial: it was a turning point. Dmytro realized he wanted to help others walk the same path — and decided to become a prosthetist. Since then, he has stood beside hundreds of people going through what he once went through himself. But the real breakthrough in his own mobility came when he started using the Falkon-S knee unit, K3–K4 mobility level, from Ukrainian manufacturer Parashar Industries. Today, Falkon-S is his support in the most literal sense: stability on uneven ground, natural gait fluidity, confidence in every step. Thanks to it, Dmytro doesn't just walk — he lives and works fully every day, with no limits on pace or load. And it's that same confidence he now passes on — to everyone just beginning their journey after limb loss. "If my story gives someone the faith to keep moving forward, then it was all worth it," says Dmytro.
