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.
