 Biom Ankle System

This is also a modern limb. It includes an energy source and an actuator, just like the Symbionic Leg. These are absolutely the latest technologies in robotics and bionics. The limb produces greater energy, that a spring can. The Biom Ankle System reestablishes the functions of the ankle. Compare this to Sach Foot! What a great difference. You can walk, and even run if you want.

It is very discreet. If you wear long pants, no one can see it. The Biom Ankle perfectly emulates the working of the muscles of a human ankle. It has 3 computers and 5 sensors. When the computer detects an increasing in torque, the actuator helps to modulate the foot’s push-off power.
