Empower
Restore your power.
The Empower prosthetic foot was specially designed for active users who navigate varied indoor and outdoor environments and place a high value on the ability to cover longer distances and walk at a higher walking speed.
Mimics lost muscle function with powered propulsion at toe-off
Plantar flexion during rollover provides extra comfort when walking and increased stability when going down slopes
Reduces joint strain through increased support on the prosthetic side
It’s more than a prosthetic foot. It’s a foundation.

Product Description
Ottobock Empower Microprocessor-Controlled Prosthetic Foot
Intelligent, Powered Foot for Natural, Adaptive & Confident Mobility
The Ottobock Empower Microprocessor-Controlled Prosthetic Foot is one of the most advanced prosthetic feet available today—featuring powered propulsion, real-time adaptation, and intelligent control to help active amputees walk longer distances with greater comfort, stability, and efficiency. Unlike traditional passive feet that rely solely on carbon spring dynamics, the Empower uses microprocessor-controlled, active ankle mechanics to support forward motion and adapt to varied terrains and walking speeds.
⚙️ Active, Powered Ankle & Intelligent Control
The Empower foot incorporates an active ankle joint with powered propulsion, which emulates the function of lost muscles and tendons by supplying positive energy at toe-off, helping propel the body forward rather than just storing and releasing passive energy. This can make walking feel more natural and less tiring—especially over longer distances or when walking at higher speeds.
Advanced sensors continuously monitor walking dynamics and terrain, allowing the microprocessor to adjust resistance, ankle motion, and propulsion in real time. This intelligent control helps maintain a smoother gait pattern, deliver stability on slopes or uneven ground, and provide controlled ankle motion—features not found in purely mechanical or passive carbon feet.
🦶 Benefits for Everyday Mobility
• Powered forward propulsion: Helps reduce effort and support stride length at toe-off.
• Extra comfort & stability: Especially noticeable on inclines, declines, and varied terrain, with adaptive plantar flexion and support as you walk.
• Reduced joint strain: By assisting ankle motion, the Empower can help reduce stresses on the knee and lower back compared to passive feet.
• Adaptive terrain response: The microprocessor continually tunes foot behavior to match walking speed and surface changes.
🔋 Technology & Use Case
The Empower is intended for active users (Mobility Grades 3–4) who walk frequently in varied indoor and outdoor environments and want higher speeds, longer distances, and a smoother, more efficient gait. It supports a maximum user weight of around 130 kg and is available in sizes typically suited for adult amputees.
Unlike passive designs, the Empower requires battery power and periodic charging, and its setup is typically done via a clinician’s configuration app that customizes performance parameters for each user.
At Credence Prosthetic India, the Ottobock Empower Microprocessor-Controlled Foot is fitted using a thorough clinical protocol—including functional assessment, precise alignment, and gait tuning—ensuring users get the best possible real-world performance for their lifestyle and mobility goals.
