- Mimics lost muscle function with powered propulsion at toe-off
- Plantar flexion during rollover provides extra comfort when walking and increased stability when going down slopes
- Reduces joint strain through increased support on the prosthetic side
It's more than a prosthetic foot. It's a foundation.

Empower – powered propulsion
The Empower delivers the exact amount of propulsion that you need to push off and move forward, with every step.
When walking downhill, the Empower is lowered to adapt to the slope of the ground. This gives you more stability because you can put your whole foot on the ground faster.
Slopes and stairs are often a challenge. Compensating for missing muscle functions requires a great deal of effort. The Empower gives you the power that is needed for forward and upward movements. This enables you to overcome obstacles.
The Empower is lowered to the floor when sitting. This not only looks more natural, it also relieves your residual limb.
The Empower improves the gait pattern by providing support, thus reducing joint strain. The prosthetic foot can also help reduce knee and lower back pain.
Your O&P professional uses the Setup app to customise the Empower prosthetic foot to your needs.

Devin
The Empower changed my life. Thanks to the Empower, I can work an 8-hour shift and more without pain. It is really the most adaptable ankle joint I've ever stood on. The foot has given me back the quality of life that I have been dreaming of for over twelve years. The Empower is really revolutionary.
Rob
“My goal is to get back to where I was before my accident. I often had back pain. I simply wasn’t able to carry out my tasks at work properly. Since I got the Empower, I can do absolutely everything I used to do.”
Energy with every step
How the Empower works
The Empower imitates the original functions of the muscles and tendons, thereby ensuring a smoother movement sequence and a more physiological gait pattern. Active propulsion is a unique feature, providing high-energy support for every step. The leg and entire body are propelled forwards. Your weight is gently transferred to the sound limb. At the same time, sensors regulate the intensity of the forward thrust required for the respective situation and the most suitable foot position.
