Benefits at a glance01
Cover longer distances at a higher walking speed
The Empower delivers the exact amount of propulsion that you need to push off and move forward, with every step.
More stable gait when walking down slopes
When walking downhill, the Empower is lowered to adapt to the slope of the ground. This gives you more stability because you can put your whole foot on the ground faster.
Coping with everyday life
Slopes and stairs are often a challenge. Compensating for missing muscle functions requires a great deal of effort. The Empower gives you the power that is needed for forward and upward movements. This enables you to overcome obstacles.
Relief function for a more natural appearance
The Empower is lowered to the floor when sitting. This not only looks more natural, it also relieves your residual limb.
Reduced joint strain
The Empower improves the gait pattern by providing support, thus reducing joint strain. The prosthetic foot can also help reduce knee and lower back pain.
Setup app for prosthetists
Your prosthetist uses the Setup app to customise the Empower prosthetic foot to your needs.
