Product description
Balance Foot S Torsion is a lightweight, waterproof foot specifically designed to meet the needs of low active walkers. For these users, the cushioning heel foam with gradual stiffening and wide sole blade provides enhanced stability perception, and the perception of a smooth rollover.
The torsion shock unit offers valuable shock absorption and helps to restore lost rotational capabilities. The anatomical foot cover features a steady-grip sole and a sandal clamping toe, for the opportunity to wear different types of footwear.
Össur recommends using Balance Foot S Torsion 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 S 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
Full length toe lever
The full-length keel/toe lever matches the length of the sound foot, giving a smoother, symmetrical gait.
Multi-axial ground compliance
Multi-axial compliance of the foot provides improved ground contact during ambulation on uneven surfaces.
Rotation
The ability of the foot to absorb rotational forces allows the user to walk with a more natural gait without increasing the shear forces on the residual limb.
Sandal toe
Narrow, anatomically correct foot cover for use with a sandal toe shoe.
Split toe
A split toe feature allows the foot to adjust to the surface below, allowing amputees to walk naturally on uneven ground.
Vertical shock pylon
The vertical shock pylon reduces trauma to the residual limb, joints and lower back during daily activities.
Waterproof
Whether it's fresh water, salt water or chlorinated water, Waterproof Össur products will give you the maximum protection you need. The use of first-rate materials provides permanent protection against harmful ingress of water, even after submersion, whilst continuing to provide the functionality you expect.
