About Ottobock Empower
The Empower is equipped with an active ankle joint, making it the only prosthesis with powered propulsion. It is characterized by the following clinically proven features:
Power
- Emulates the function and power of lost muscles and tendons (1)
- Provides energy instead of taking it away – even up ramps, hills and stairs (1,6)
Control
- Life-like ankle movement that normalises userʼs walking gait (4)
- Reduces joint forces which may result in less pain and fewer long-term orthopaedic problems (1,2,5)
Stability
- Adjusts ankle power, resistance and flexion in real-time
- Provides balance on variable terrain (3)
