SACH Feet (Solid Ankle Cushion Heel)

This is one of the most basic prosthetic foot designs. The SACH Foot has a solid ankle joint with a compressible heel wedge that absorbs shock during heel strike. The simple design makes SACH Feet a durable, cost-effective option for users with lower activity levels. Some models with a lightweight design reduce energy expenditure during walking, making them suitable for elderly users, those with limited mobility, or those who cannot afford superior options.

Single Axis Feet

Single-axis feet provide controlled dorsiflexion and plantarflexion through a mechanical ankle joint. Compared to SACH designs, they offer more natural ankle motion, durability, and affordability. The controlled movement helps users achieve a smoother heel-to-toe gait pattern, reducing compensatory movements in other joints.

Dynamic Response Feet

Dynamic response prosthetic feet contain energy-storing materials like carbon fiber to provide spring-like action during walking. The stored energy is released during push-off for a more natural gait pattern.  Active users and Athletes like this type of prosthetics; the design enhances propulsion and reduces fatigue during extended walking and other activities.

Multiaxial Feet

Multiaxial prosthetic feet allow movement in multiple planes for improved adaptation to uneven terrain. They have ankle joints that permit dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, and eversion movements. Users appreciate the improved balance on slopes, stairs, and irregular surfaces. Multiaxial feet particularly benefit individuals who work outdoors and enjoy recreational activities.

Pneumatic and Hydraulic Prosthetic Feet

Pneumatic hydraulic prosthetic feet use fluid or air-filled chambers to control ankle motion, automatically adjusting to different walking speeds and terrains. The dampening mechanisms provide smooth, controlled movement that closely mimics natural ankle function; however, they are expensive
