Endolite Introduces the avalon

The avalon foot provides 12° of controlled ankle motion, allowing the user to safely negotiate stairs, ramps, and environmental obstacles with increased confidence and security.

Benefits include:

Dorsiflexes from midstance to toe off for a smooth rollover.
Remains dorsiflexed through swing phase for improved toe clearance, to minimize the risk of falls.
Provides a more natural gait; reduces the need to compensate by hip hiking, circumduction, or lifting the knee to clear the toe during swing phase.
Biomimetic ankle motion encourages equal loading during ambulation, which leads to less stress and thereby preserves the sound side.
