Offering reliable performance that's second to none, the Re-Flex VSP is definitely the tough guy of the Flex-Foot range.
Integrated into the design are a shock pylon and a side spring, which together absorb the shock generated by high impact activity. This in turn reduces the impact on the residual limb, the back and the rest of the body, and reduces the risk of injury. Perfect for those with an above-knee amputation, who often feel the impact on their sitting bone.
For people pushing themselves to achieve work or sporting ambitions, this foot means there is no need to compromise.
The first ever prosthesis to successfully integrate a shock absorption system, the Re-Flex VSP uses a carbon fiber compression spring, and telescoping tubes that provide up to an inch of vertical compression. This cushions the impact on the residual limb, allowing users to land on their prosthesis when coming down stairs or stepping off curbs, for example, without experiencing pain or discomfort. It also stores and releases energy through the carbon fiber design, contributing to a comfortable, energy-efficient and natural gait.
The exceptional combination of function with extra shock absorption is backed up by scientific evidence, showing benefits for users of reduced oxygen consumption and heart rate, with improved gait–efficiency.
