...................Roadwalking

The Roadwalking is a new dynamic foot suitable for young and active people, with a mobility level 3-4 K-Level.
Its structure composed by 4 laminates, allow a foot response during each stance phase, because in every moment at least 2 laminates work together to support the amputee user in his/her daily activities. In the other feet available on market there are downtime during which the foot doesn't work, such as the final phase of the stance.
This prosthetic foot is composed by 4 main laminates: one inferior laminate, which define the calcanius and the forefoot; one posterior laminate, which define the heel and functions like soleus-Achilles tendon apparatus; two superior laminate, which define the instep and functions like anterior tibialis muscle. A pyramid adapter closer to the ankle help the pylon attachment.

• The inferior laminate starts its work during Initial Contact: the durability and elasticity must allow load acceptance and storage with a shock absorption function to guarantee comfort to the user, but at the same time stability. Its functions stops during the final phase of Toe-off, when the forefoot gives the final propulsion.
  
  
• The two superior laminates function like the anterior tibialis muscle permittind a gradual foot roll-over until forefoot contact to the ground managing the transit from Initial Contact to the Mid-stance phase. Through their loading, they guarantee dorsiflexion during Mid-Stance phase and plantarflexion during final propulsive phase.
  
  
• The posterior laminate functions like Achilles tendon and soleus , which work in eccentric contraction during second rolling, to steady the foot on the sagittal plane; when the foot reach the contact with the ground, during mid-stance, the posterior laminate starts loading and it release propulsion, allow the transition from Mid-stance to final stance phase.
  

The pattern of the ground reaction forces guarantee a high comfort in the loading phase when we have the first foot contact with with the ground (1) and allow to produce an high propulsion force in the final stance phase (2), while in competitors' feet it's lower.

• Material: carbon fiber tissues
