PRO-FLEX®
Less load, more dynamics™
3 carbon fiber blades and innovative Pivot Technology help generate 93% more peak ankle power than a conventional carbon fiber foot.
New full effective foot length and footplate design contribute to a more natural plantar pressure from heel strike to toe-off than a conventional carbon fiber foot.
The dedicated Pro-Flex foot cover features a lightweight construction and a grippy sole for barefoot stability on wet or slick surfaces. The sandal clamping toe design allows easy use with flip flops and female users have the option to paint the toe nails.

Unique Pivot Technology and ankle torque deliver 27º ankle motion with progressive stiffness for a more physiological gait. Immediate adaptation to ramps, stairs and uneven surfaces increases walking ease, comfort and stability for daily activities.

Less load, more dynamics™
The list of potential co-morbidities affecting amputees is long.
In particular, lower limb amputation can produce compromised gait
dynamics that increase the load on the remaining joints. Perhaps
unsurprisingly then, the incidence of knee osteoarthritis in lower
limb amputees is 17 times higher for below-knee amputees than is
for non-disabled people. In the case of diabetic or disvascular
amputees, increased loads can also contribute to foot ulcers,
potentially requiring additional surgery and re-amputation.
The costs associated with these co-morbidities are substantial.
In addition to the human cost of diminished mobility and increased
pain, the financial cost can be equally high. Total knee replacement
surgery is an expensive procedure, while the cost of amputating
another limb is hugely significant in every sense. Clearly, technology
that helps to significantly reduce the impact on a person’s body is
worth considering, both from a quality-of-life perspective and that of
long-term healthcare costs.
A revolutionary next step in prosthetic technology.
Össur has developed Pro-Flex, the world’s first prosthetic foot to
reduce the load on the sound limb by 11% compared to a traditional
energy storing and return foot. Pro-Flex allows clinicians to deliver
unmatched clinical excellence to their patients and it minimises the
burden of living with an amputation. By reducing the load on the
sound side and by closely mimicking a more physiological gait
pattern, Pro-Flex enhances a dynamic life thus improving the overall
health condition of the user.
Pro-Flex combines an incredible 27° ankle motion and 93% more
peak ankle power than a conventional carbon fiber foot; and a
center of pressure that closely mimics natural biodynamics to
deliver an 11% load reduction and a 15% reduction in knee varus
moment on the contralateral limb. Both impact and knee-varus
momentum are known contributors to OA in the knee. Multiply this
reduction over a lifetime of steps and the potential health benefits are
clear: by decreasing loads and improving dynamics, clinical outcome
is optimised, and both individual and collective healthcare costs may
be reduced.

PRO-FLEX® LP
With Pro-Flex LP, users with longer residual limbs
can finally experience full-height dynamics in a low
profile foot. The secret lies in Pro-Flex LP’s unique
3-blade design, which includes a “reverse tapered”
mid-blade to help generate anterior flexion, plus a
footblade that incorporates a full effective toe
length and an anatomical split toe. This innovative
design helps generate exceptional toe-off energy
and a fluid, natural progression from heel strike to
toe-off for a level of performance that approximates
that of a conventional standard height foot.
