MECHANISM OF ACTION
During the strike phase, the sole and heel store energy, which they return in the middle of the stance phase. This property creates
the impetus enabling the forefoot to accumulate energy and return it upon the step completion.

INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS
These medical devices are supplied to healthcare professionals (prosthetists), who will train the patient in their use.
The prescription is drawn up by a doctor who assess the patient's ability to use the foot.
These devices are for multiple use on a SINGLE PATIENT. They must not be used on another patient.
These devices are intended to be integrated in a custom-made external lower limb prosthesis to ensure the function of the foot
in patients with unilateral or bilateral lower limb amputation and/or congenital limb deficiency.
These devices are indicated for patients with moderate activity level (K3) for walking and physical activities without excessive
overload.

ALIGNMENTS
Bench Alignment
Before installing the prosthesis on the patient:
•
Align the foot module in plantar/dorsi flexion, by inserting the foot (with foot
shell) into the shoe to account for the heel height
•
Align the socket in adduction/abduction, to ensure an appropriate angle in
the frontal plane
•
Align the socket in flexion/extension, to ensure an appropriate angle in the
sagittal plane
•
Adjust the position of the socket so that the load line falls to the anterior
dome of the pyramid (see illustration)
Dynamic Alignment
To optimize roll-over from heel to forefoot, adjust the following variables:
•
Foot position in the anterior/posterior plane
