The Ottobock Triton Smart Ankle has been developed as a connected prosthetic solution for those who have had either above-knee or below-knee amputations. Offering up to 34-degrees of wide range motion, the prosthetic can be changed according to real-time needs by accessing the accompanying app to make adjustments to the heel height. The unit can also make automatic adjustments based on the movement of the wearer to help them experience a more comfortable walking experience that doesn't put additional strain on their residual limb.
The Ottobock Triton Smart Ankle also boasts a relief functionality that will alleviate some of the stress placed on the body when sitting or standing for extended periods to make ones everyday routine a little easier.
