Re-Flex Shock^™

HC005075

Re-Flex Shock offers the best vertical shock absorption of all the Össur mechanical feet. With dynamic energy return and all around responsiveness the foot is a great choice for active users.

The composite spring in front provides optimal shock absorption that reduces impact subjected to the body. Enhancing both control and comfort during walking and other activities.

Impact Levels

	Impact Level	Example
	Low Daily activities involving gentle, steady walking with the use of a walking aid. Example: Moving around at home, modest walking in the community.
	Moderate Daily activities involving average walking with the ability to vary speed or walking pattern. Example: Going to the shops, confident outdoor walking.
	High Daily activities involving fast walking, jogging and climbing stairs. Example: Heavy-lifting, manual labor, recreational sports.

Re-Flex Shock™ Features

Active Tibial Progression

Vertical forces generated at heel contact are stored and translated into a linear motion described as Active Tibial Progression. This action reduces the need to actively push the body forward using the contralateral foot and also equalizes stride length.

Benefit: More natural gait and reduced walking effort.

CARBON-X® Active Heel

The Carbon-X Active Heel stores the energy during loading response as the amputee transfers his or her body weight onto the prosthetic foot. Energy is gradually released from the heel providing optimal return for forward progression of the limb.

Benefit: Reducing impact to the joints and residual limb thus increases comfort, reduces joint and limb damage.

Full Length Toe Lever

The full length keel/toe lever matches the length of the sound foot, providing improved support to the prosthetic limb during late stance. It ensures that users spend equal time on the prosthetic foot and natural limb, thus providing improved walking dynamics and reduced impact to the sound limb.

Benefit: Improved walking symmetry and reduced impact to the sound limb.

Proportional Response

The layering of carbon fiber, optimized through extensive computer analysis and mechanical testing, ensures that the deflection of the carbon fiber heel and forefoot components are proportional to the user’s weight and impact level.

Benefit: Customized construction optimizes walking efficiency thus reducing fatigue for the user.

Split Toe

A split toe feature allows the foot to adjust to uneven surfaces, allowing amputees to walk with stability and comfort on uneven ground.

Benefit: Helps to maintain balance, stability and reduces peak impact during loading.

Vertical Shock Pylon

The vertical shock pylon reduces impact to the residual limb, joints and lower back during daily activities. It also ensures a more energy-efficient gait by minimizing vertical displacement of the center of gravity.

Benefit: Protection of joints, the spine and stump by reduction of the shock loading.

Unity® - Sleeveless Vacuum Suspension

Unity offers the security and freedom of vacuum suspension, but without the sensation and restrictions of a sleeve. This advanced system from Össur effectively addresses volume fluctuation and is totally compatible with Flex-Foot technology.

Key advantages

No sleeve required: Greater mobility and user acceptance
15-22 in Hg Vacuum: Effective volume stabilization
Simple design: Quick and easy to achieve/release vacuum
Independent pump: Foot function uncompromised
Light weight: Complete system weighs only 130g

Unity for all
