Vari-Flex ® with EVOTM
Ideal for most activity, Vari-Flex with EVO replicates the functions of the human foot beautifully. Its extra smooth roll-over motion contributes to a more natural, symmetrical gait, which means less fatigue and ultimately less strain on the lower back and sound side of the body.
A big bonus for many people using this foot is the ease with which they can now walk barefoot. Most prosthetic feet are aligned for use with shoes, and removing them usually alters gait significantly. However in trials, users commented on improved stability in all types of situations, particularly when walking without shoes.
Who it is for:
- People with all kinds of lifestyles / activity levels.
- Those who are looking for a smoother roll over and energy-efficient gait.
- People who weigh from 100-365lbs / 44-166kg.
The technical stuff
Made of specially layered carbon fiber for strength and functionality, the Vari-Flex with EVO is a lightweight, slender prosthetic that is easy to cover cosmetically. A durable, responsive foot, it has a split toe for enhanced stability. It is available in sizes 22-30cm and with a choice of beige or brown foot covers. A low profile Vari-Flex with EVO is also available for those with longer residual limbs.
The groundbreaking EVOTM Feature
EVO stands for Energy Vector Optimization. This unique Flex-Foot feature controls how the scale and direction of ground reaction forces are transferred to the prosthetic foot. In doing so, it makes the foot more ground-compliant and helps improve ankle control.
