Pathfinder™ Overview
The Pathfinder’s proven durability and unique triangular design make this the foot of choice for active amputees.
Pathfinder™ Low Profile Foot W / Adapter
Pathfinder™ - The Road to Freedom Awaits!

Perhaps the biggest request since the Pathfinder™ hit the market in March 2002 was to develop a shorter version of the Standard Pathfinder™. Now more amputees can experience the WOW that this dynamic response energy storing foot has to offer. The Low-Profile Pathfinder™ incorporates the same alignment theories, design elements and physical benefits as the original Pathfinder™, but it is 1 to 1-1/4 inches shorter. The extra clearance allows the Low-Profile Pathfinder™ to be used by amputees who have longer residual limbs or 8 inches of clearance or more.

General Guidelines
The Composite Toe Spring Stiffness Chart indicates weight categories where we believe a majority of patients will be classified. The Pathfinder™ offers you the opportunity to move either up one category towards increased stiffness, or down one category towards decreased stiffness, depending on the activity level of the amputee.
