O&P RESOURCES: Ability Dynamics
The RUSH Foot Collection is like nothing else on the market today. Carbon fiber has been the standard in prosthetic feet for decades, but carbon fiber is not optimal due to limited flexibility and composite failures. The RUSH Foot's unique, tried-and-true glass composite was originally developed for aerospace applications and reimagined by Ability Dynamics to eliminate traditional weak points in prosthetic feet.
The RUSH Foot's superior engineering delivers the most realistic and responsive foot and ankle motion available today. It is exponentially more flexible than carbon fiber and stress points won't fail when subjected to pressure, water, or impact.
Amputees report an unmatched range of motion from the roll-through design, allowing for a super smooth transition from heel strike through toe-off with no dead spots in between. The RUSH Foot helps maintain a natural, smooth gait even in the most extreme terrain. One foot for all your adventures.
Comfortable. Flexible. Durable. Virtually indestructible. Carbon feet don't stand a chance. Learn more about which RUSH Foot is right for you by visiting www.rushfoot.com.

The Original No-Itch Fiber
NSP/CSP is a green, eco-friendly, natural fiber that creates no itch. NSP/CSP is a unique natural fiber that is lighter and stronger, and offers half the stiffness and ten times the impact resistance of carbon. The stiffness can be regulated by fiber orientation to equal carbon. NSP/CSP is dynamic it its ability to either be stiff or flexible depending upon the practitioner's preference. NSP/CSP wets out fast because of its high resin fiber interface and low void content, which means the resin sticks and air does not get trapped easily. It's excellent for elevated vacuum.

Dynamic Chopart Gait Stabilizer
This unique AFO has been designed for people with Chopart amputations
who wish to remain active. A traditional, full-length AFO will often be
stiff and feel unnatural to such a patient. Using a hinged ankle and
flexible foot plate with a segmented dynamic filler allows flexion
before providing a "stop" that protects the residuum and prevents shoe
vamp collapse. The PTB design and the anterior shell redistribute ground
reaction forces up the lower limb. For more information, visit our
website or call the lab toll-free.
