Freedom ShockWave™ Spherical Shock Unit

StarFish worked with Freedom to develop their Spherical Shock Unit component of the ShockWave™ prosthetic foot which provides ultimate vertical shock absorption at heel strike easing stress on the residual limb for a more natural gait.

Axial rotation of +/-15 degrees from neutral reduces socket pressure and allows patients to quickly pivot in a seamless motion giving K3 / K4 patients a shockingly natural and comfortable experience during both every day and high impact activities.
