RUSH Foot Key Design Components

Material

Glass based composites have excellent strain capability, and are 3x more flexible.

Glass composites are more durable than Carbon Fiber composites. Stress points won’t fail when subjected to stress, water or impact.

Glass fiber composites do not soften over time.

Fail Safe Material: If glass fiber composite fails (which is rare) they do not fail catastrophically. Should a failure occur…it would be by delamination in a way that only partially compromises the structure, leaving some support to save the user from an unexpected fall; unlike carbon fiber.

Glass fiber composites provide increased flexibility, durability and result in a more natural gait.

Instep

Designed to promote tibial progression around the ankle.

The bracket pyramid weight line is set at 70% of the length. Standard weight line at the pyramid is typically 66%.

The longer overall length in combination with the 70% weight line combines to provide the longest toe lever in the industry. This is important in the fact that it reduces gait deviation. Longer toe levers reduce the requirement in the hip to compensate for the shorter step; thus, promoting a more natural gait.

Rocker Bottom/Sole Plate

The rocker bottom is the primary contributor to the smooth roll over from heel strike to toe-off.

Upon heel strike the rocker bottom flexes to allow a smooth continuous transition from heel strike to toe off. The rocker bottom maintains a continuous line of contact. As A result, there is not the sensation of a flat or “dead spot” at midstance.

Smooth transition from heel strike to toe off requires less energy to walk or run. Over the period of a day, the energy savings adds up.

The continuous contact of the rocker bottom provides midstance contact AND midstance support.

Heel Shock

Users of the RUSH Foot® products often state that the heel shock feels like their “real heel”. The elastomeric material has a nonlinear spring rate that brings the foot to a comfortable stop.

The heel shock material has been formulated to bring an incredibly high energy return in excess of 90%. By providing high-energy return and comfort, patient fatigue is reduced.

The material in the heel will not fail or break down over time. It is extremely durable and will not fail due to fatigue cycles. Unlike composite heels, the RUSH Foot® heel shock will not fail.

Overall Length

The RUSH Foot® is generally the longest composite foot on the market and significantly assists in reducing gait deviation in ambulation.

*All feet shown are 27cm in length.

Toe Bond Adhesive

The aerospace-grade adhesive eliminates catastrophic failure commonly experienced by amputees wearing inferior prosthetic feet.

Heel Wedge (Optional)

The heel wedge is optional for those who want a more aggressive tibial rotation. The heel wedge significantly provides the angle to drive the tibia forward on heel strike.

The heel wedge also overcomes issues when a user feels they are “sinking into their heel”, or the heel feels too soft. The heel wedge gives the sensation that the heel is firmer.

Use of the heel wedge does not change the stiffness or durometer of the heel shock, instead it alters and improves the angle of attack to promote tibial progression through midstance.

Refer to the RUSH LoPro, RUSH HiPro or RUSH ROGUE IFU documents for additional wedging instructions.

RUSH Foot Performance Characteristics

Roll-Through Analysis

One of the strongest characteristics of a comfortable foot is the roll through characteristics. The RUSH Foot® products provide a continuous line of contact from heel strike, through the mid-stance, to toe off. The continuous roll-through removes the sensation of “dead spots” or flat spots during gait. The smooth action reduces abrupt shifts in the socket between the skin and the socket reducing shear loads.

The smooth roll-through of the foot requires less energy to transition from heel to toe. Often the result of this is an increase in self-selected walking speed as well as a more natural looking gait.

Comfort

The RUSH Foot® provides an extremely comfortable gait. The discussion on the roll-though analysis supports the smooth transition from heel strike to toe-off.

Continuous support on roll through provides comfort at all levels and at variable cadences of ambulation. End users report that they can walk farther than they ever did before without the worry of developing skin issues or worrying about getting too tired. Basketball players report that they can play substantially longer on the court before developing the typical “hot spots” in the socket or feel the onset of fatigue.

Those who spend a significant amount of time standing report the ability to stand longer and find a comfortable position. The continuous point of contact allows the user to rotate to find the comfortable position for the leg without being forced to a fixed position from an arch shaped foot.

Socket Issue Mitigation

Testimonials from a large cross-section of patients points to, or suggests, the smooth action of the RUSH Foot® reduces socket issues. (Refer to the comfort and roll-through sections.)

Time between socket replacements may be increased.

Patients don’t want to come in for socket issues. It interrupts their lives. One of our patients used to spend several day s a month in a wheel chair letting their residual limb heel. After wearing the RUSH Foot® they spend literally no time in a wheel chair.

Users of the RUSH Foot® report that when they used to take off other feet early at the end of their work day, they now wear it for evening activities, and until they retire to bed.

Durability

The glass fiber composite is well-suited to act like a toe spring to absorb a large spectrum of loads without breaking. This means the end user can wear a reasonably comfortable foot in terms of stiffness, and still have the foot survive the huge toe deflection loads that may come in extreme situations such as high-impact sports. Carbon fiber feet must be sized to be stiff to survive large impact loads. This leaves the end user uncomfortable most of the time when they are not using them in an extreme way.

Gait Deviation Mitigation

Patients and prosthetists regularly report that the user walking on the RUSH Foot® has a more natural gait. There are several reasons for this. Some have been discussed in prior sections.

We have patients often tell us that “I feel like I have my real foot back”, and “I feel like I can walk normal again”.

Long Toe Lever
The RUSH Foot® has the longest toe lever in the industry. The RUSH Foot® is overall the longest foot, and in combination with that, the toe is set at 70% of the length which gives a very long toe lever. During the toe off of a natural foot the toe is extended as plantar flexion as the leg is extend aft. The toe must extend in plantar flexion to maintain the body center of gravity from excessively motion. In connection with this there is also some hip movement. The only way for someone wearing a prosthetic device to compensate for the lack of toe extension or plantar flexion is to rotate the hip, tilt the hip, shorten their step, or let the whole upper body shift laterally which accentuates the classic gait deviation of an amputee with a poor quality foot. The RUSH Foot® gives the user a longer toe lever to compensate for the lack of foot plantar flexion. This mitigates hip compensation motion, reduces upper body sway, and lengthens the step.

Mid Stance Support of Rocker Bottom
Another classic gait deviation of an amputee is to drop the shoulder or sway the upper body to the side of the prosthetic in mid stance. This is required for flat feet with no mid stance support because this becomes a low point during the opposite leg swing through. To keep the swing leg from stubbing the toe the user must lift the swing leg higher, or lift the hip (which causes upper body sway) to allow the swing leg to swing through properly. The RUSH Foot® helps with this issue because the rocker bottom sole plate give mid stance lift and support during the middle of opposite leg swing phase. This allows the swing leg to swing through more naturally and reduces gait deviation.

Smooth Continuous Motion
The rocker bottom sole plate allows smooth continuous contact motion from heel strike to toe-off. The roll- through requires less energy and the user doesn’t have to create extra energy input to push over a flat spot and get over the toe.

Heel Strike to Foot Flat
In the natural gait of the foot the heel initiates, at heel strike, plantar flexion to flat foot. This gives a smooth un-jarring transition to the foot. Prosthetic device users with a stiff heel learn to compensate for the uncomfortable strike by dropping the upper body to ease the change in momentum. The smooth heel strike of the RUSH Foot® with soft initial contact eases the transition to the prosthetic foot such that the user can learn to walk naturally without anticipated stiff heel strike. The action of the RUSH Foot® flexes in the instep to allow the foot to move to flat foot quickly and naturally. Users of the RUSH Foot® often quote “I feel like I have my real heel back”.

Energy Return

Toe
The toe-off of the RUSH Foot® is driven by the instep. The classic definition of energy return is the measure of energy lost when a material is flexed. The energy return of the RUSH Foot® is the same as carbon fiber feet because most of the friction loss in the material is in the epoxy which is the same for both.
The toe-off of the RUSH Foot® has excellent energy return. Not only because of the composite material, but because the mid stance support provides a smoother energy free motion from mid stance to toe off.

Heel
The rubber elastomeric material of the RUSH Foot® products have been specifically engineered to provide exceptionally high-energy return. They can provide energy return in excess of the composite material which the end-user appreciates especially over an extended period of exercise. Better energy return in the heel means less work in the socket interface to keep the body moving.

No Split Toe

The split toe is a common design feature in carbon fiber feet. This feature allows rotation as inversion/eversion without an excessive amount of torque applied. End users find this feature more comfortable when walking on uneven terrain. The problem with the split toe is that both sides of the foot need to be in contact. If the user only catches part of the foot on a ledge, the toe flexes excessively and could fail. To compensate for ½ loading, manufactures make the toe more stiff, resulting in regular walking being less comfortable and overly stiff.

The RUSH Foot® is engineered to have the appropriate amount of inversion and eversion without a split toe. This means that during normal flat ground walking the toe is engineered for maximum comfort, and if the user only catches ½ the foot on a curb, they will feel confident in the toe reaction as it will not over deflect.

Ashley, Clinical Manager, Prosthetist, Knoxville, TN

“I have been in the prosthetic field since 1980 and have seen many new and innovative feet come on the market. My patient just left the office, after being fit with the RUSH Foot®, and couldn’t stop grinning. In watchin the motion of the foot during gait, it was amazing! There truly is no flat spot in the foot. The foot is different. It is not just more motion, it is DIFFERENT motion.”

Doug Young, LCPO, Cornerstone Prosthetics & Orthotics

“ “I bring an older generation to the RUSH Foot® enthusiasts. My last birthday was 71, and I have been a RBKA since Feb. 2006.I walk better than ever. The RUSH Foot exceeds all of their claims. Uphill, downhill, rough terrain…you name it! You can’t beat this foot. You can do anything with it.”

Dave Silberg ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“Best foot ever! No one else even compares.”

Brandon Berreth ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“As an avid skate and snowboarder, I never imagined dealing with limb loss or the inherent adaptation to a new life. I tried to return to my passions as quickly as I could and found myself discouraged. Carbon fiber just didn’t let me feel comfortable doing what I love; lacking range of motion and durability, I needed an alternative to carbon fiber. The amazing people at PROTEOR USA got me on a RUSH Foot® and the rest is history. After just a few sessions, I’m skateboarding on a level I never thought I’d get back to and I’m just getting started. I owe it all to the RUSH Foot®.”

Joel Goltry ~ BK, RUSH ROGUE®

“Normally I have a transition period to get used to a new foot. From the moment I paddled, stood to my feet and made the drop I knew I was in love with the RUSH Foot®. I felt very in control of my surf board. It’s your back foot that allows the surfer to turn and mine is prosthetic. The RUSH Foot® felt very natural and light so I felt really confident on my very first wave. I been through a lot of prosthetic feet, but by far the RUSH is the best.”

Rodney Roller ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I’m a combat wounded Air Force veteran with a below knee amputation. My prosthetist hooked me up with a RUSH Foot® after I continuously broke previous feet. The RUSH Foot® has been the only foot that has put up with the most abuse and hasn’t needed a single repair. It’s truly the best thing to know. I finally have a foot I can rely on. Thanks for everything! “

Staff Sgt Steven Malits ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I have only been an amputee for 6 months. I have three VERY active children who play softball, football, baseball, basketball and cross country. I spend extensive time on uneven ground up and down hills, grass, rock, bleachers etc… The RUSH Foot® has been a smooth transition for me. Two weeks after being in the RUSH Foot® I was walking on the beach and on the edge of the ocean barefoot. It was liberating!”

Verona Ducey~ BK, RUSH LoPro®

“I was doing work with one of the major carbon foot companies but ever since I put on the RUSH Foot® I haven’t worn anything else. It’s nice to know I don’t have to continually worry about breaking any more carbon feet.”

Jerad Fischer ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“The first time I put on the RUSH Foot®, I knew I liked it immediately! It doesn’t break and I have snapped at least five carbon feet. The RUSH Foot® is AMAZING! BEST. FOOT. EVER. You will never look back!”

There is no way I’m going back to carbon! I have been an Orthopedic Technician since ’97, so I know hundreds of amputees. They will all be hearing your praise. Thank you again.”

Jared Pratt ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I have used just about every foot on the market, I’m rated as a high activity 4 when it comes to feet. I have been used as a research and development for various feet because I’m so active and walk hard. You name a terrain and I have walked and climbed on it. Hunting, fishing , cycling , long distance walking. The RUSH Foot® is the best normal feeling foot I have ever used.”

Dan O'Connor ~ BK, RUSH LoPro®

Jacob Allen ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“Each step feels like I am walking on a pillow!”

Art Valdez ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I’ve been a LBKA due to trauma since 2010. I am a K3 and play competitive tennis, am an avid hiker, jogger and I am a full-time professional chef standing at least 10 hrs a day! From 2010 to now I have had ten different legs, worn pin system, suction, and vacuum. As a field tester for my prosthetist I tried every major manufacturer. I recently switched from Ottobock Triton to RUSH Foot®. The RUSH Foot® is that rare item that has held up to its hype and my expectations. Not to mention it’s also probably the best bang for the buck as well. I love my RUSH Foot®. It is setting a new standard.”

Roger Chan ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“The RUSH Foot is awesome! I have been an amp for 22 years and have had dozens of legs. This is by far the best foot I have ever had.”

Josh Williams ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“This foot gave me my life back! I am a 32 year-old RBK, I’m running for the first time ever and have recently lost 10 lbs. On a recent visit to Disney I walked all over because of the RUSH Foot®! On previous carbon feet I always had to get a cart. After a life time of operations and pain, the RUSH Foot® has made it possible to actually do the activities I used to have to sit on the sidelines and watch. Life has improved, not just physically, but mentally. Please keep making this product. Thank you for your amazing foot!”

Carolina Hoffman ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“RUSH Foot® has changed my life in a way I can hardly explain. I lost my leg in a motorcycle accident and was given a carbon foot not knowing if it was good or not because I hadn’t done any research. Once I started walking on the carbon foot, it was rough. Prior to my accident, I was a go-getter and extremely active in sports. I thought those days were over. I searched around and read alot about the RUSH Foot®. I took it upon myself to get one and my first step was unforgettable. My foot was back, it almost felt like I had toes! The flexibility was GREAT. I’m back! Life isn’t over! I can do what ever I want! My RUSH Foot® life has just began for me, and I’m in love with it all ready. Amputees, never say I can’t, never give up, and never say never. Thank you, RUSH Foot®! You’ll never know how much you’ve done for my family and me.”

Clay West ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“The RUSH Foot® gives me more ‘SPRING’ in my step and it’s one tough foot! I was working at UPS as a driver helper with getting in & out of the truck 70 – 160 times a day. Going up and down hills of front yards to deliver packages. My gait has drastically improved. No more limp or wobble. What a great foot! Thanks for giving me a life back!”

Kenneth Biggs ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I love your product! I have been on my RUSH Foot® for about 4 -5 months. It is awesome, and I get compliments on it all the time! I have been going to the gym, running, weight lifting, etc. I can’t tell you how incredible it feels to be able to do these things again. But, with the help of the RUSH Foot®, I feel like I can do anything. I get several comments a week from people that are surprised when I tell them that I have a prosthesis. Usually it is something along the lines of ‘I would NEVER have guessed that you were missing a leg.’ Since my accident, I just wanted to appear and feel normal again…something that wasn’t possible until the RUSH Foot®! Thanks again for the awesome product! Y’all rock!”

Jonathan Cocker ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“As a 25-year fire fighter veteran, I finally switched from a prosthetic foot, that I referred to as the ‘2 x 4’, to the RUSH Foot®. I was finally able to participate in the annual Firefighter stair climb, in which we ascend 1311 steps. Most people comment that they can’t event tell I have a prosthetic because my gait is so natural. The RUSH Foot® is awesome…I move and feel so much better now.”

Michael McAneny ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“Going up/down hills and hiking has been so much easier since I got my RUSH Foot®. It feels so natural!”

Adrian Grajeda ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I provide prosthetic care to the Central Coast of California. I use the RUSH Foot® by PROTEOR USA for two very important reasons: function and durability. The California terrain is as diverse as our lifestyles. The RUSH Foot® can handle both. We have better things to do with our time than worry about repairs or component failure. My clients love the dynamics of their foot and the natural feel it provides. Common statements are that the RUSH Foot® feels more like their real foot than any other foot they’ve used before. As a prosthetist the advantage of the materials used in the RUSH Foot®’s design create a very smooth effortless gait for my patients.”

John D. Hollingsead, CPO, North County Prosthetics and Orthotics

“I have been an amputee for 23 years and I’ve always been very active. Regardless of the activity level of the foot I was wearing, I was always very aware that I was taking a step on a prosthetic leg. That is … until I got a RUSH Foot®. It instantly felt ‘familiar’. I felt like I had my real foot again! For the first time since my amputation, I felt ‘whole’ again. Now, I can run until I’m completely winded and have a “stitch” in my side…something I have not been able to do for more than 23 years! To someone who lives to run, that is a pretty huge deal. RUSH Foot® changed my life!”

Mark Ferrell ~ BK, RUSH ROGUE®

“As soon as I found out there was something different and better, I thought….’That’s my foot!'”

Daniel Edmondson ~ Bilateral BK, RUSH HiPro®

“Thank you RUSH Foot®!!! The RUSH HiPro has changed my life! I ran with my children for the 1st time in 3 years! I also took the training wheels of my 5 year old daughter’s bike and was able to run along side her to hold her bike up. It was the best feeling doing that. I missed that opportunity with my son. I had to watch from a chair while someone else did it. Being able to make that memory with my daughter meant so much to me. Please keep pushing the limits with your products. You guys change lives for the better everyday! I’m a RUSH Foot® user for life!”

David Reed Keel ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“In the first 2-3 steps I took on the RUSH Foot®, it felt great, the roll-through was fantastic…it felt like my natural foot! It is absolutely great for walking on steep hills. It is the Humvee of prosthetics.”

Roger McIntosh ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I have had my RUSH Foot® for two days now and can’t believe how different I can move! My previous carbon foot had no mobility on uneven surface. For the first time in two years (since losing my leg), I walked 100 meters uphill with ease. Thank you RUSH Foot® for giving me my life back.”

Johnny Mullins ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I am an active, athletic 14-year old bilateral amputee. In the past, I would always break my carbon feet. As a result, I couldnt do the things I loved… play basketball, run, or basically anything that was high impact. Not only could I not do the things I love, I had tons of boring downtime waiting for replacement feet. When I was told that there was a foot that wouldnt break, I didnt believe it. When I was first fitted with the RUSH Kid foot, I felt the difference immediately. It was more comfortable, more stable and I had much more balance. Since being on the Kid Foot, I have played in a two-day basketball tournament, I am trying out for the basketball team and run my best mile to-date! Most importantly, I have done all this without breaking a foot! I don’t have to worry about broken feet anymore and it has given me the confidence to keep pushing myself and not have my feet hold me back.”

Stephen Hernandez ~ Bilateral BK, RUSH Kid®

“Every step I took on my recent dream trip to Oaxaca, Mexico was truly the most magical moments of my life. To be alive, cancer-free and walking is definitely something I feel deeply grateful for. I was unable to walk on uneven surfaces and ascend all the way to the top of Monte Alban pyramid…a bucket list item! Feeling completely accomplished. It’s been an epic adventure from start to finish. Thank you, RUSH Foot®!”

Lynn Olsen ~ AK, RUSH LoPro®

“The RUSH Foot® has made a HUGE impact on my life in a VERY short time. It has allowed me to push my limits in the sport of Strongman… which is a very difficult sport if you have two legs…let alone one. In addition, I do not get worn down as easily throughout the day. I am twice as active since being fit with the RUSH Foot®. I love my RUSH Foot®! Thank you, PROTEOR USA!”

Dan Nunnelly ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I’m currently using the RUSH Foot® and I love it! I’m an extreme backcountry snowmobiler and weight lifter. I was recently nominated for ‘America’s Top Snowmobiler’. I’m the only amputee competing against able bodied professionals. My goal is to show the world how competitive an amputee can be against able bodied people! We can do anything we set our minds to. This is easy thanks to my RUSH Foot®!”

Troy Burt ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“It’s only been just over a month of using this awesome foot and already my movement, life and walking are so much better. I now realized that walking with a carbon foot took a lot of effort. Now, my falconry husbandry daily chores are more easier. Cutting my grass is much easier. In addition, my boxing and Muay Thai at the gym feels great and comfortable. I also just had the best holiday ever in the Caribbean doing alot of water sports which wasn’t possible before the RUSH Foot®. I definitely love my new RUSH Foot life! I am smiling from ear to ear.”

Jamie Dempsey ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“Being a bilateral amputee, I was not sure-footed, until my Prothetics team at Comfort Prosthetics installed a pair of feet from RUSH Foot®, the change dramatically improved my quality of life! My wife actually described my walk as “graceful”, imagine that. RUSH feet have allowed me to move about with FAR more comfort, and confidence, I can not say enough good things about this product.”

Kenneth Titus ~ Bilateral BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I changed to a RUSH Foot® and I LOVE it! I am a runner and outdoorsman. 64 years young and never slow down. Never Quit.”

Thomas Hamlin ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I am a super active AK and my previous carbon feet could never withstand my lifestyle. The RUSH ROVER is the best foot I’ve ever had! Being an amputee for almost 30 years, I’ve had every foot out there. As an AK, I rely on every component of my prosthesis. Finally, after suffering through so many feet and breaking them every 3 months or so, I was given the RUSH ROVER. I’ll NEVER look back! I run, walk and workout on my ROVER. To share my story with everyone is all I want to do. The ROVER was meant for me!”

Stephanie Gunsalus ~ AK, RUSH ROVER®

“Having a RUSH Foot® has made me realize what it is like to have an ankle again. I can say it’s like waking on air and I’m so over the moon with it. Live the#rushlife!”

Carly Friedrich ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“Before I received my RUSH Foot I didn’t have a fluid stride. As a former athlete, I knew I wanted to get back to being as active as possible. Now, with my RUSH Foot, I have a flexible ankle and a smooth gait. I know I can take on any challenge from running around to hiking in the mountains! The sky is the limit!”

Melissa Clement ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I found that my hiking speed, over the same distance and terrain, increased 50% over carbon!”

Christopher Bowman ~ BK, RUSH HiPro®

“I’ve been wearing my RUSH FOOT for quite some time now and it does feel like a ‘fake’ foot, it feels like the real thing to me! I am able to challenge my abilities with my RUSH Foot®. I frequently hike 12-14 miles through rugged, mountainous terrain. I am really enjoying my life. RUSH Foot® is my foot!”
