Ankle movement in every direction

Multiaxial prosthetic foot for uneven streets and slopes

A multiaxial foot moves up and down, side to side and with a slight twist, so it settles flat on broken pavements, slopes and steps instead of tipping you over. It is the comfortable middle ground between a solid SACH foot and a springy carbon foot.

In short

What is a multiaxial foot?

The short answer

A multiaxial foot has an ankle made of rubber bumpers or a small joint that lets the foot move in several directions. When you step on a stone, a kerb edge or a sloping road, the foot adapts to the surface while the socket stays upright, so less twisting reaches your stump and knee. Examples include the Ottobock Greissinger Plus and the College Park Trustep, which combines multiaxial movement with carbon springs.

A complete below knee leg with a multiaxial foot costs about Rs 120,000 to 400,000.

Is it right for you?

Who a multiaxial foot suits

Usually a good fit if

  • Users who walk on broken pavements, unpaved lanes and slopes
  • Older users who want stability without stiffness
  • People who feel twisting in the stump with a SACH foot
  • Users with moderate activity

We may advise waiting, or something else, if

  • Very active users who want maximum energy return; a carbon foot suits better
  • Body weight above the foot's rating
  • Users who want the simplest foot with nothing to wear out

How the ankle moves

Most multiaxial feet have a block of rubber or a set of bumpers at the ankle. Under load, the rubber lets the foot tip forward and back, roll to either side and twist a little, then springs it back to neutral. It works like a simple version of your own ankle, keeping the sole flat on the ground even when the ground is not flat.

Made for real streets

Broken footpaths, unpaved lanes, speed breakers, ramps into shops, the steps of a mosque and puddles after monsoon rain: daily walking in most Pakistani towns is rarely on flat, even ground. A multiaxial foot takes much of the twist out of these surfaces, so the stump and the knee feel less strain and you feel steadier.

The trade-offs

A multiaxial foot gives less push-off than a carbon fibre foot, so very long walks take a little more effort. Some users find the extra ankle movement feels wobbly at first; training on a ramp helps. Feet that combine multiaxial movement with carbon springs offer the best of both, at a higher price.

Care and checks

The rubber parts in the ankle wear over time and in heat can soften slightly. A squeak, a clunk or a wobbly feeling that was not there before is a sign to come in. We check the ankle at follow-ups and replace worn bumpers when needed.

Travelling to us?

Coming to us for a multiaxial foot from another city or country

Tell us your city or country and your travel dates when you call. We plan the visits as close together as the stump allows, so most patients can finish the casting, test socket and fitting in one stay, whether they come from Quetta or fly in from Dubai, with a shorter trip later for adjustments if needed.

Questions

Questions about the multiaxial prosthetic foot

What is a multiaxial foot?

A prosthetic foot whose ankle can move up and down, side to side and with a slight twist, so it adapts to uneven ground and slopes.

Is a multiaxial foot better than a SACH foot?

On uneven ground and slopes, usually yes, because it adapts to the surface. On flat floors for low-activity users, a SACH foot does the job for less.

How much does a leg with a multiaxial foot cost?

About Rs 120,000 to 400,000 for a complete below knee leg, depending on the foot and whether it has carbon springs.

Do multiaxial feet need maintenance?

The rubber parts in the ankle wear over time and may need replacing. We check them at follow-ups; a squeak or a wobbly feel is a sign to come in.
