Hydraulic Feet
Hydraulic feet provide patients with an incredible range of controlled motion as well as assist in force absorption, enhance knee stability, and promote good posture.
Freedom Innovations Kinterra Foot/Ankle System: This system combines hydraulics and carbon fiber technology to provide low to moderate impact K3 ambulators an exceptionally normal walking gait – regardless of surface angle or speed. The results are rock solid stability and the confidence for users to choose a new path. Features include: increased ground contact and a more symmetrical gait; improved stability and safety, especially on slopes and varied terrain; reduced socket pressures for healthier residual limbs; enhanced comfort while sitting and squatting; and user confidence and satisfaction.
Blatchford Echelon: A waterproof hydraulic ankle that absorbs on impact, the Echelon self-aligns on uneven and incline surfaces. Its design aids in decreasing uncharacteristic pressures at the socket interface and other joints. This enhances comfort and postural symmetry, diminishing the possibility of falls and sustaining musculoskeletal well-being. Featuring a separate hydraulic control of plantar and dorsi-flexion, the biomimetic design replicates genuine ankle movement. The foot has an e-carbon heel and toe springs along with a sandal toe foot shell.
