Indications:

• For use with the HM3 hip joint for the provision of hip disarticulation patients
• Mobility classes 1, 2, 3, 4

Properties:

Shock absorption: the forces generated on heel strike are absorbed by the deformation of the carbon system. The impact forces felt by the user are reduced and stored in the form of energy in the carbon system. This relieves the stresses and strains on the whole articular chain.

Acceleration: the energy absorbed by the carbon system at heel strike supports the user when walking. This reduces the effort for the user.

Safety: there is no deformation of the carbon system during the mid-stance phase. For the user this means stability and extra safety under full loading.

Force minimisation: the transition from the mid-stance phase to toe-off is made considerably easier by the flexible carbon system. The transitions, which users often describe as feeling a tangible resistance, are transformed into a harmonious and energy efficient gait. Rollover over the forefoot is made easier.
