Overview
Empower is the only commercially available microprocessor foot with powered propulsion. By combining a mechatronic ankle joint with the high-energy carbon of the Taleo Low Profile foot, Empower imitates the lost muscle function that propels people forward.
- Emulates lost muscle function by actively supplying energy at toe off1
- Active plantar flexion during loading of the limb provides extra comfort when walking and increased stability when walking downhill on slopes2
- Relief function for a more natural appearance when sitting and relief of residual limb
- Reduces joint forces and has been shown to reduce knee and lower back pain3
- Splashproof (IP24)
A trial must be completed prior to ordering Empower. Contact your local sales rep to schedule a trial.
