1 Introduction
The Elan is a biomimetic foot and ankle system with microprocessor controlled dorsiflexion
and plantar flexion. It is designed to adapt dynamically (via motorized valves) to provide
assistance when walking on a variety of surfaces, when changing gait speeds and increased
levels of safety and security when walking and standing.
Features
• Dynamic damping resistance aims to improve gait characteristics enabling safer walking
• Microprocessor control of resistance in real time
• The Elan Software adapts to individual user gait characteristics
• Standing Support mode
• Aims to reduce stress at the socket interface
• PC interface setup with Bluetooth® link and direct communications
• Power is supplied via an integral rechargeable battery pack
This device provides limited self-alignment of the prosthesis on varied terrain and following
footwear changes. It is intended to improve postural sway, balance stability and inter-limb
loading symmetry while easing high pressures at the socket interface.
