Ossur’s
PROPRIO FOOT™ is the world’s first intelligent foot
module.
It offers unparalleled functionality that features active plantar and
dorsiflexion movements allowing for maximum toe clearance and heel
height adjustability.
The foot is an artificially intelligent and motor-powered prosthesis
that helps to replace the function of the body’s central
nervous system.
- Sense: Using advanced motion sensing accelerometers,
the foot can actually “sense” the surroundings of
each step.
- Think: As fast as it measures, the data is fed into the
“brain” of the device through TerrainLogic™
identifying specific motions, such as heel strike.
- Act: Gait pattern
recognition algorithms detect when a user is walking on flat or sloped
surfaces, up or down stairs, as well as when stationary or seated.
The
PROPRIO FOOT will be available this fall. For more information, call
