Microprocessor Feet
Blatchford Elan: Mimicking natural muscle resistance and ankle motion by adapting hydraulic resistance levels, stability is optimized when standing and walking on slopes and uneven terrain. This encourages more symmetrical limb loading, faster walking speed, and reduced compensatory movements. The result is smoother, safer and more natural walking, helping to preserve the body.
Össur’s Proprio Foot™: Providing artificial proprioception – the sense of where the limb is in space – the patented artificial intelligence sorts out the information from the foot’s sensor technology and activates the most appropriate response for the next step.
Ottobock emPOWER® Ankle: Designed to replace the combined functions of the foot, ankle, and calf regions of the human leg, it allows amputees to walk with a natural gait at their chosen speed, using the same metabolic energy as a non-amputee. The powered propulsion device lifts and drives the user forward, smoothly transitioning weight to the active limb.
Ottobock Meridium: Offering safety, increased adaptability, and a more natural motion sequence, the foot incorporate real-time control. The 4-axis design adjusts itself to the user’s walking speed and ground conditions, whether on slopes, stairs, or varying terrain. The relief function automatically lowers the forefoot to the floor when sitting, providing a comfortable, foot position. With its automatic heel height adjustment, it is suitable for various types of shoes.
