Intended Use

The Motion Foot SLX hydraulic prosthetic foot is intended for use in lower
®
extremity prostheses . The Motion Foot SLX sets itself apart by combining a
two-spring prosthetic foot design with a hydraulic mechanism that allows for
plantar and dorsiflexion range of motion. Fillauer has designed the Motion
Foot SLX to support each phase of foot function in the gait cycle—from heel
strike, to mid-stance, to toe off. The result is a foot that adapts well to sloped
conditions, creating early stance phase stability with solid energy return . This
provides unsurpassed smoothness, stability, and performance from initial
contact, to mid-stance, to terminal stance .
