Description
Multiflex Standard
The Multiflex foot and ankle provide the activity level 2 user with comfortable multi-axial motion, which enhances stability. The low profile design with sandal toe allows for a more natural appearance.
Safety
- Low stiffness at weight acceptance leads to early foot-flat and greater stability for lower mobility patients14
- No loss of stability during standing with Multiflex than fixed ankle/foot
- Easier to walk on uneven ground with Multiflex than fixed ankle/foot
- Easier to walk up a slope with Multiflex than fixed ankle/foot
Mobility
- Little to no difference in gait mechanics compared to flexible, “energy storing” prosthetic feet
- Increased prosthetic ankle range-of-motion with Multiflex compared to fixed ankle/foot
- Increased prosthetic ankle power with Multiflex compared to fixed ankle/foot for bilateral users
- Prosthetic rollover shape closer to natural biomechanics than fixed ankle/foot
- Bilateral users can walk longer distances and report “smoother” gait with Multiflex compared to fixed ankle/foot
- Benefits in mobility for bilateral users
