Pro-Flex® XC Torsion

Overview

Details

Product description


Pro-Flex XC Torsion was developed to support active users who enjoy hiking and jogging, as well as level-ground walking.

Pro-Flex XC Torsion combines the energy return and smooth roll-over of the Pro-Flex XC with valuable shock absorption and rotational capabilities. The sole blade offers an effective full-length toe, and a wider foot blade than traditional feet.

This foot is suited for active users who want to use a single, lightweight foot in daily life, as well as for various higher impact activities.

Less load and more dynamics mean  users can enjoy greater comfort in a wide range of activities. The lightweight anatomical foot cover features a steady-grip sole for barefoot stability on wet or slick surfaces, and a sandal-toe for a wide range of footwear. including flip flops.

Össur recommends using Pro-Flex XC Torsion together with the Unity sleeveless vacuum suspension system. This adds minimal weight, no extra build height, and does not interfere with the Pro-Flex XC Torsion 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.


Anatomical foot

The full effective foot length, in combination with the big toe and sandal toe matches the length and shape of the sound foot. The lightweight anatomical foot cover features a steadygrip sole for barefoot stability on wet or slick surfaces, and a sandal-clamping toe for a range of footwear including flip flops.


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.


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.


Weatherproof

A weatherproof device allows use in a wet and/or humid environment but does not allow submersion. Fresh water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect. Dry thoroughly after contact with fresh water. Fresh water: Includes tap water. Excludes salt and chlorinated water. For a weatherproof system, only weatherproof components must be selected.
