TALUX
SYSTEM (Figure 1)
®
• Indicated for low to moderate impact levels only.
• Build height with Male Pyramid: 176mm (6 15/16").
• Maximum weight 147kg (325 lbs) low activity or 130kg (285 lbs)
moderate activity.
• 10 mm (3/8") heel height.
• Available in sizes 23-30.
BENCH ALIGNMENT (Figure 2)
• Adjust to appropriate heel height (using the shoe).
• Introduce appropriate socket angels flexion/extension and abduction/
adduction.
• Divide the foot cover into 3 equal portions.
• The load line should fall at the junction of the posterior and the middle
third portions as shown in the diagram.
• The mark denoting the junction of the middle and posterior thirds is
located inside the foot cover opening.
DYNAMIC ALIGNMENT
The tapered heel part, compressed tarsal core and the opened dual J-shaped
pylons store energy at heel strike, then slowly releasing it to assist tibial
progression to midstance. The forward momentum generated by this action
results in the toe being loaded for optimum energy release to toe off. The
heel to toe action can be influenced by:
• A-P positioning of foot
• Dorsi-Plantarflexion
• Heel Stiffness
CATEGORY SELECTION CHART
Please refer to the selection charts below to determine the appropriate
stiffness required according to Össur recommendations.
