User Experience

Peter

Peter sees life as a series of opportunities. To make sure he doesn't lose his balance at a key moment, he trusts his Taleo Side Flex prosthetic foot. Its flexible side-to-side design allows spontaneous movements and ensures secure support in any situation.

Functionality

New lateral flexibility

Conventional prosthetic feet adapt to lateral slopes only to a small extent at heel strike. Only later on do these feet adapt to a greater extent as the load on the forefoot increases, reaching maximum adaptation at the end of the stance phase. The Taleo Side Flex features high adaptation to lateral slopes and uneven ground right after heel strike. This has a positive impact on the user’s comfort and safety.

FAQS

Answers for you

Like all prosthetic feet in the Taleo product range, the Taleo Side Flex was designed for active users (mobility grade 2–4) who navigate varied indoor and outdoor environments and place a high value on effortless walking. The Taleo Side Flex prosthetic foot is particularly suitable if you want a high degree of socket comfort on uneven surfaces and lateral inclines. It is suitable up to a body weight of 130 kg. Due to its low build height, the Taleo Side Flex is also suitable if you have only a low build height available for the installation of the prosthetic foot, for example, due to a long residual limb. The prosthetic foot can be used with both transtibial and transfemoral amputations.

No, the Taleo Side Flex is delivered with a footshell that is based on the shape of the human foot and is therefore compatible with most common types of shoes. Plus, a slim and a normal footshell are available in most foot sizes to match your natural foot as closely as possible. The separate big toe on the footshell even makes it possible to wear thong sandals and walk barefoot for brief periods indoors.
