PRO-FLEX®

Less load, more dynamics™

3 carbon fiber blades and innovative Pivot Technology help generate 93% more peak ankle power than a conventional carbon fiber foot.

New full effective foot length and footplate design contribute to a more natural plantar pressure from heel strike to toe-off than a conventional carbon fiber foot.

The dedicated Pro-Flex foot cover features a lightweight construction and a grippy sole for barefoot stability on wet or slick surfaces. The sandal clamping toe design allows easy use with flip flops and female users have the option to paint the toe nails.

Unique Pivot Technology and ankle torque deliver 27º ankle motion with progressive stiffness for a more physiological gait. Immediate adaptation to ramps, stairs and uneven surfaces increases walking ease, comfort and stability for daily activities.

Less load, more dynamics™

The list of potential co-morbidities affecting amputees is long.

In particular, lower limb amputation can produce compromised gait

dynamics that increase the load on the remaining joints. Perhaps

unsurprisingly then, the incidence of knee osteoarthritis in lower

limb amputees is 17 times higher for below-knee amputees than is

for non-disabled people. In the case of diabetic or disvascular

amputees, increased loads can also contribute to foot ulcers,

potentially requiring additional surgery and re-amputation.

The costs associated with these co-morbidities are substantial.

In addition to the human cost of diminished mobility and increased

pain, the financial cost can be equally high. Total knee replacement

surgery is an expensive procedure, while the cost of amputating

another limb is hugely significant in every sense. Clearly, technology

that helps to significantly reduce the impact on a person’s body is

worth considering, both from a quality-of-life perspective and that of

long-term healthcare costs.

A revolutionary next step in prosthetic technology.

Össur has developed Pro-Flex, the world’s first prosthetic foot to

reduce the load on the sound limb by 11% compared to a traditional

energy storing and return foot. Pro-Flex allows clinicians to deliver

unmatched clinical excellence to their patients and it minimises the

burden of living with an amputation. By reducing the load on the

sound side and by closely mimicking a more physiological gait

pattern, Pro-Flex enhances a dynamic life thus improving the overall

health condition of the user.

Pro-Flex combines an incredible 27° ankle motion and 93% more

peak ankle power than a conventional carbon fiber foot; and a

center of pressure that closely mimics natural biodynamics to

deliver an 11% load reduction and a 15% reduction in knee varus

moment on the contralateral limb. Both impact and knee-varus

momentum are known contributors to OA in the knee. Multiply this

reduction over a lifetime of steps and the potential health benefits are

clear: by decreasing loads and improving dynamics, clinical outcome

is optimised, and both individual and collective healthcare costs may

be reduced.

PRO-FLEX® LP

With Pro-Flex LP, users with longer residual limbs

can finally experience full-height dynamics in a low

profile foot. The secret lies in Pro-Flex LP’s unique

3-blade design, which includes a “reverse tapered”

mid-blade to help generate anterior flexion, plus a

footblade that incorporates a full effective toe

length and an anatomical split toe. This innovative

design helps generate exceptional toe-off energy

and a fluid, natural progression from heel strike to

toe-off for a level of performance that approximates

that of a conventional standard height foot.
