While shock/torsion reducing pylons have been available for several years, the DuraShock offers several significant improvements over previous designs. The main benefit of a shock/torsion reducing pylon is that it simulates the rotation and shock absorption of the natural limb during stance phase. All lower limb amputees benefit from shock/rotation reduction, especially transfemoral users, who require greater motion damping at heel strike since the knee and ankle are...
