1.1 Construction and Function

The 1C51 Taleo Vertical Shock and 1C52 Taleo Harmony prosthetic feet are suitable for walking
on various surfaces and at a wide range of speeds. The heel strike is absorbed by the large,
replaceable heel wedge.
Carbon and polymer spring elements permit perceptible plantar flexion at heel strike, a natural
rollover movement and high energy return.
The prosthetic feet have a functional ring. The functional ring absorbs vertical impact loads and
permits slight torsional movements.
The Taleo Harmony is additionally equipped with a mechanical vacuum pump.
While walking, the vacuum pump is compressed and released again, thus generating the vacu­
um. The elevated vacuum in the prosthetic socket improves the connection between the user and
the prosthesis.

1.2 Combination possibilities

This prosthetic component is compatible with Ottobock's system of modular connectors. Func­
tionality with components of other manufacturers that have compatible modular connectors has
not been tested.
