iWalk
iWalk is proud to announce PowerFoot One, the world's first actively powered prosthetic ankle and foot.
A completely self-contained robotic system, PowerFoot One is the culmination of years of research in biomechanics, bio-energetics, materials science and joint control. Two powerful microprocessors and six environmental sensors evaluate and adjust ankle position, stiffness, damping and power thousands of times a second. Control algorithms generate human-like force while traversing level ground, slopes and stairs, providing active amputees with near-normal gait and lower energy expenditure compared to state-of-the-art passive prosthetics.
