Foot Ankle Prosthetics

Odyssey K3 by College Park

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from PFC.

Introducing the next step in the Odyssey line of hydraulic feet from College Park. Hydraulic feet are renowned for increasing ground contact. The Odyssey K3 utilizes the patented curved hydraulic ankle plus a higher frequency carbon fiber foot base for increased dynamic response. The robust ankle housing and angular positioning was designed for moderate impact users able to balance without assistance. The combination of smooth hydraulics and a dynamic foot base brings exceptional performance during activities like aggressive city walking or multi-terrain hiking.

Maverick Xtreme by Freedom Innovations

The Maverick Xtreme AT fiberglass foot comes with a split keel design that provides excellent inversion and eversion for enhanced ground compliance and patient stability on uneven terrains.  It was designed for active K3 and K4 level ambulators who require a product with increased durability without compromising the desired energy storage/return and smooth roll-over during stance phase of gait. The aerospace grade fiberglass combined with the innovative heel/keel design allows for a natural, flexible feel during activities of daily living (ADLs) and various strenuous exercises.

 

 

Flex-Foot® by Össur

Flex-Foot® Assure

The Flex-Foot Assure is ideal as a first prosthesis or a more permanent option for the less active, particularly those experiencing poor vascular health and/or diabetes.

Designed specifically for slower speed walkers, Flex-Foot Assure incorporates an active heel combined with the full-length keel that work together to protect the vulnerable sound limb. The proven design and simple fit of Assure allows basic ambulators to take advantage of premium technology just right for them.

Types of Prosthetic Feet

A number of different types of prosthetic feet are available to meet the differing needs of individuals with lower limb amputation. While most prosthetic feet belong to one of the major categories listed below, there are also prosthetic feet that combine characteristics and functionality across multiple classes of feet. Your clinician will evaluate your specific needs and activities and will help you decide which option is best for you.

Learn more about each type of technology below.

Hydraulic ankle feet allow resisted movement of the prosthetic foot at an adjustable hydraulic ankle joint. This allows for walking with greater stability, accommodates walking across a greater range of surfaces and environmental obstacles, and may reduce localized socket pressure points for some patients.

Microprocessors change the resistance of the prosthetic ankle in real time based on your walking speed, the incline or decline of a slope, and type of terrain. Patients also have suggested increased socket comfort and reduced stumbles and falls with this developing technology.

Powered feet utilize battery power to mimic the powered propulsion of the foot and ankle muscles. These feet are generally comparatively heavy and require daily battery charging. However, appropriate patients have reported decreased fatigue with the use of this technology.

Dynamic response feet store energy throughout each step through the deformation of their carbon structures. These structures return to their original shape at the end of each step, resulting in a return of the stored energy, as well as a more natural, fluid gait.

Single-axial feet mimic the movement of the ankle joint by allowing movement at a mechanical ankle joint. They provide stability, are generally recommended for more reserved walkers, and can be especially valuable for patients with poor knee control or patients attempting limited walking with an above-knee prosthesis. Multi-axial feet allow dampened movements of the foot in several planes, which helps increase stability and comfort on non-level surfaces.

SACH feet are a lightweight, basic prosthetic option optimal for light activity.

Partial foot and toe solutions can improve stability, help shoes fit, and offer cosmetic restoration.
