Product description
Balance Foot J is designed to meet the needs of slower speed walkers. It is lightweight with a heel that provides stability and cushioning at heel strike. Together with the full-length keel the Balance J provides excellent stability and support.
Össur recommends using Balance Foot J in conjunction with the sleeveless elevated vacuum suspension system Unity®, which adds minimal weight and no build height, and does not interfere with Balance Foot J dynamics. Unity is designed to provide secure suspension in combination with Iceross Seal-In® technology, while stabilizing volume fluctuations and maintaining comfortable socket fit throughout the day.

Characteristics
Active tibial progression
Vertical forces generated at heel contact are initially absorbed and translated into forward motion described as Active Tibial progression.
Full length toe lever
The full-length keel/toe lever matches the length of the sound foot, giving a smoother, symmetrical gait.
Proportional response
The layering of carbon fiber optimizes the deflection of the forefoot from mid-stance to toe-off and is proportional to the user’s weight and impact level.
