Technology Spotlight: RUSH Foot

This month’s technology spotlight focuses on the RUSH Foot. With 4 different designs available, you and your prosthetist will determine which one is the perfect fit for you.
The RUSH foot has a unique sole plate and virtually indestructible, unique glass composite material. It delivers the smoothest transition from heel strike to toe off of any prosthetic foot in the industry.
Benefits:
- Static feet made of a glass composite instead of a carbon composite
- More flexible than a carbon foot
- Ability to withstand more forces than a carbon foot.
- Provides more natural rollover without the feeling of dead spots
- Provides patient with a high energy return
- Provides a more realistic range of motion at the foot/ankle
- Can be used on all terrains (snow, mud, sand)
- Waterproof (fresh and salt water)
- Helps reduce socket issues
Here’s what one of our patients has to say about it:
“Right away, within a couple steps, I could feel a much greater degree of energy return than my previous carbon feet. They are very springy, and that translates into less effort to walk fast and cover longer distances. As time passed, I noticed that my residual limbs and lower back did not ache as much as they normally had with my carbon feet. Honestly, my knee on my BK side has not felt this good in a very long time. Finally, I have more stability walking down hills and ramps. The feet seem to better conform to the surfaces I walk on, improving balance in more challenging situations.” – Tom Ferrante, Satisfied RUSH Foot Bilateral Amputee patient
