VARI-FLEX
XC ROTATE FOOT SYSTEM (Figure 1)
®
• Clearance:
• Maximum weight 147 kg (323 lbs)
• Available in sizes 22–30 cm
BENCH ALIGNMENT (Figure 2)
• Fit foot with selected cover.
• Adjust to appropriate heel height (using the shoe).
• Introduce appropriate socket angles flexion/ extension and
abduction/adduction.
• Divide the foot cover into 3 equal portions.
• The load line should fall at the junction of the posterior and the
middle third portions as shown in Figure 2.
• The 1/3 position is marked on the inside wall of the foot cover.
DYNAMIC ALIGNMENT
The heel stores energy after initial contact, slowly releasing it at
midstance. The forward momentum generated by this action results in
the toe being loaded for optimum energy release at terminal stance. The
heel to toe action can be influenced by:
• A-P positioning of foot
• Dorsi-Plantarflexion
• Heel Stiffness
CATEGORY SELECTION CHART
Please refer to the selection charts below to determine the appropriate
stiffness required according to Össur recommendations.

HEEL STIFFNESS
Heel too soft
Symptoms
• Foot will come to flat position too early (amputee feels he/she is
sinking into a hole).
• Extra energy is required to climb up over the toe.
• Toe will feel too stiff
• Knee may hyperextend.
Actions

• Shift socket anterior (anterior or foot posterior).
Heel too hard
Symptoms
• Rapid heel to toe movement.
