Empower

Item #: 1A1-2
Call to order

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.
