Terrain Logic™
Close your eyes for a moment, and lift your foot in front of you. Without looking at it, you know exactly where your foot is in space at all times, and whether the toes are pointed up or down. That is proprioception - the sum of all the tactile information constantly being fed to your brain that tells you where you are and what you're doing.
With the PROPRIO FOOT®, the motion analysis information is processed by a specialized form of artificial intelligence named Terrain Logic™. Together they help to rebuild the sense of proprioception lost after an amputation and provide the most appropriate response for the next step. As toe off is detected, for example, Terrain Logic directs a toe lift in order to clear the ground. Having sensed an inclined surface, it directs ankle flexion proportional to the slope. Learning from the user’s previous stride, ankle movement parameters are adapted for the next step.
The ‘brains’ behind the PROPRIO FOOT, Terrain Logic helps to replace the function that the body’s central nervous system would normally play in processing information about changes occurring inside and outside the limb if it was still intact.
