Changing shoes to suit the occasion need not be a complicated affair.
Nor is it necessary to sacrifice function when choosing a heel height adjustable foot. Elation is easily adjusted up to 2 inches at the touch of a button, while the foot’s progressive stiffening feature adapts automatically to the load applied, ensuring a comfortable, steady gait.

Elation® Features
Full Length Toe Lever
The full length keel/toe lever matches the length of the sound foot, providing improved support to the prosthetic limb during late stance. It ensures that users spend equal time on the prosthetic foot and natural limb, thus providing improved walking dynamics and reduced impact to the sound limb.
Benefit: Improved walking symmetry and reduced impact to the sound limb.
Heel Height Adjustability
Heel height can be adjusted for various types of shoes to ensure correct alignment. Users can easily change shoes to fit most occasions as the heel height can be adjusted within the given range.
Benefits: Adjustable heel height minimizes misalignment of the prosthesis thus reducing walking fatigue and discomfort experienced with poor alignment.
Proportional Response
The layering of carbon fiber, optimized through extensive computer analysis and mechanical testing, ensures that the deflection of the carbon fiber heel and forefoot components are proportional to the user’s weight and impact level.
Benefit: Customized construction optimizes walking efficiency thus reducing fatigue for the user.
Sandal Toe
Sandal toe foot designs incorporate a split between the first and second toe.
Benefit: More anatomical look for increased visual appeal and more functional compatibility with sandal shoes.
