1.1 Construction and Function
The 1A1-2 Empower is an electronically controlled prosthetic foot with an actively driven ankle joint. The prosthetic
foot simulates the function of the calf musculature and Achilles tendon for the toe-off at the end of each step. This
toe-off supports the forward movement and is calculated in real time for every step. The force depends on the
power supplied to the prosthetic foot while walking (due to the walking speed, stride length and terrain).
The prosthetic foot is lowered at heel strike to ensure rapid full-surface ground contact. This improves balance and
stability, especially on uneven terrain or when going down ramps. The relief function makes a natural foot position
possible while sitting.
