Elan
Elan is a microprocessor-controlled foot that mimics natural muscle resistance and ankle motion by adapting hydraulic resistance levels to optimize stability when standing and walking, on slopes, and on uneven terrain. This encourages more symmetrical limb loading, faster walking speed, and reduced compensatory movements. The ankle pivot point is optimally positioned close to the natural weight line for a more natural response through the gait cycle.
The result is smoother, safer, and more natural walking, helping to preserve the body for the long term.

Key Benefits
Standing Support Mode
When no movement is sensed, the hydraulics stiffen to assist with a standing posture, providing equal pressures.
Integrated Micro Connector
The refreshed design incorporates an integrated charging connector with a new LED battery power indicator.
Simplified Clinician Setup
The new software has been simplified and refined so that it is now easier than ever for clinicians to set up Elan.
Even Longer Battery Life
The battery life is now even longer with up to two days of usage between charges and a low power mode.
Why Chose Elan
On walking downhill, lower plantarflexion resistance allows the foot to fully contact the slope sooner for improved safety and security. At the same time, increased dorsiflexion resistance provides a braking effect stabilising the user for a safer, more controlled descent.
When walking quickly or up slopes, the plantarflexion resistance increases allowing for more optimal energy storage and return. Combined with a softer dorsiflexion resistance, this aids forward momentum, body position and minimises the effort required to walk fast or uphill.
Standing for longer periods has also just gotten easier. A network of sensors detects the user is stationary, increasing resistance to help improve balance, and stability, reduce effort and encourage a more natural posture.
During the swing phase, the ankle remains in a dorsiflexed position increasing toe clearance on every step and reducing the risk of stumbles or falls.
