The foot is made by Otto Bock. It is called the Axtion. It is what is called a dynamic foot. It is a dynamic foot because it is strong and allows for high level activity. It is chiefly made of to carbon fiber pads with a heel piece. I attached a description here. Press | Suppliers | Jobs & Career deutsch english
You are active, dynamic, and always on the go. Sporting activities are number one during your leisure time. In that case, the Axtion® may be the ideal complement to your prosthesis system.
Ideal for sports and leisure activities such as basketball and tennis
Heel impact is softened
High energy return
Lightweight
Natural gait pattern
Suitable for long residual limbs
Recommended for mobility levels 3 and 4
You are active, dynamic, and always on the go. You enjoy playing basketball and taking on physical challenges. In that case, the 1E56 Axtion® foot may be the ideal complement to your prosthesis system. We developed the Axtion® especially for active persons with a body weight of up to 125 kilograms. It is also ideally suited for people with a long residual limb. High-Quality Materials Increase the Level of Wearer Comfort
Due to its innovative construction and high-quality, carbon fiber construction, the Axtion® offers many advantages for daily use. The heel impact is cushioned to create a soft rollover. Therefore you move more easily and securely, and do not tire as quickly. In addition, the stump is relieved.
When you start the next step, the Axtion® actively supports you. It provides excellent energy return in the forefoot for a more even, natural and dynamic gait pattern. Therefore sporting activities such as tennis, which subject you to greater impact stress, are possible. With the Axtion®, you are also more mobile, walk more comfortably, and expend less energy during daily challenges at work and at home.
Due to its low structural height, the Axtion® is ideal for combination with components such as the C-Leg® or Harmony® system. The foot is also light, which increases the level of wearer comfort. The Axtion® was recognized internationally by receiving the reddot design award in 2005, the largest design competition in the world.

I woke up yesterday with a golfball size knot on my chest. This muscle pull or injury or whatever was impinging right shoulder movement and causing me pain. It does respond to heat treatment however. So I am using anti-inflamatory medicine and heat to treat it. My father in law had pains in his shoulder and was rushed to the emergency room. He is eighty and just recently had a sextuple bypass. The doctors were afraid it was some sort of inflammation due to the operation but now believe it is probably a rotator cuff injury. They said he was eighty going on sixty five when he had the operation and he looks like he is in incredible shape.
I was supposed to get my new leg last week and the lock mechanism on the leg malfunctioned. It took a half hour to get it off after they put it on. It had to go back to the shop for a new lock. My chest is just now getting back to normal. The swelling is down, but my shoulder is still painful and my neck is sore. I supposedly get my new leg tomorrow. This is the third time so it should be a charm!
Yesterday I walked 40 minutes on my old leg (Peggy Sue). I set a cake timer and walked until it went off. Today I got my new girl. Her name is Maggie May. She feels great. I have to get used to walking without a lot of padding. I'll be setting the cake timer again soon.
Yeah, I just have to learn to use it. I had to learn to walk with a fused ankle. Now the foot is flexible which means my balance is different. I'll just have to break out the cake timer again today and walk.
Actually it feels like a Ferrari as compared to a Studebaker (old leg). A lot of you may be too young to get the comparison but trust me, there is a big difference.
I do. I really have to develop my quads though so I can arise out of soft or low chairs without assistance. Now I have to lift myself with my arms. I can't do full squats because of my remaining foot. I can do 3/4 squats and BW one legged or regular deadlifts. I do a lot of step ups and I guess I can do Front squats and split squats as well.
Still learning to use my leg. Took a tumble and scraped both my knees and my left hand. I start PT again Wednesday. My chest is still sore, but my doctors have seen and said I pulled a muscle. The knot is on my chest but the pain is in my neck and my shoulder muscle on my back.
Still did my 40 minutes with a cake timer. Took out the trash to the bottom of the drive which is really difficult for me balance wise. Swept the house and took care of the cats. Did paper work and have been trying to track down my driver certification.
Pushed the car out of the garage because it needed a jump and pushed trash container to curb for pick up. Sounds small but was a big deal for me! Walked 30 minutes with cake timer.
Thanks. The big thing was the trash. I couldn't walk down my driveway with the old leg. This one lets me do it. I still took my walker to get back up, but it was quite an effort for me.
Today I resumed my PT. I spent about an hour and fifteen minutes walking. I left with the conviction that I have to strengthen my quads and my back. My left foot is kind of swollen because it took a beating today. I hope that as I learn to walk better that will change. I'm starting over again.
Hodge Podge Workout today. 20 minutes walking. 20 Minutes elliptical trainer. (An adventure in balance!) Dumbbell military presses 2 x 21.3 x 10. Bent over row 2 x 26.3 x 10. Wheelchair presses 2 x 10. Leg lifts 2 x 15. Crunches 2 x 25. Superman 3 x 10. Split Squats 2 x 10 x BW. Step Ups 3 x 15 x BW.
I had PT yesterday and my therapist decided she wanted to wear out my right leg, so she proceeded to do just that! We practiced walking form and did a massive amount of step ups. The step ups were done with no support so they were very tiring. Then we did core work because she believes that strengthening my core will provide better form. I did bird dogs, crunches, leg lifts, band exercises and medicine ball exercises. I also did wall squats ( with an exercise ball) and leg presses 2 x 30 at 215 lbs. I then did a couple of leg/cardio machines so that I could barely walk out of the gym. My main doctor wants me to drop to 1800 calories and I have had trouble doing that. I either come up way short or at 2000 - 2100 calories. Becca told me to knock off the hodge podge workouts and upper body weight workouts until my chest is healed. After I did the weight workout the day before yesterday, I had pain in my chest again. It was where the knot had been. It was not as bad and responded to heat, but Becca said I need to let it heal or I will get the knot again.
Yesterday I had PT. I spent an hour and fifteen minutes working on technique. I have two PTs and I like them both because each one gives me something different. Becca flat works my ass off. I am exhausted everytime I leave PT and just go home on my couch and quiver. Kathleen works me on my technique. I am not as tired, but she gives me valuable knowledge about how to do things in the real world. Yesterday she had set up an obstacle course for me. I walked across a carpeted area with various objects of different height and texture hidden under the carpet. I had to walk each area of the carpet over and over to get used to uneven ground. It was really helpful to me.
Today, I got froggy. I shoveled snow and swept snow off the porch. It took a long time. I shoveled the sidewalk. I fell twice because I had to balance on the shovel and that's not the best. Fortunately, I fell into the snow so it was a soft landing each time. My neighbor from across the road saw me struggling and helped me finish the wall. I swept the porch as well. This was harder than shoveling the walk. The porch is mahogany. We treat it with marine sealer every year. The wet snow made it seem like I was on the deck of a sail boat. I slipped around and used the railing to keep me upright. It was exhausting staying upright. I also did the old marine thing as well. No gloves. No hat. Spring jacket. It was hot work and I was going to sweat! Well, by the time I was done, I had no feeling in my hands except for pain and my ears were on fire! I had to run cold water on my hands to get feeling in them. I also walked twenty minutes with the egg timer.
