Lors de la marche, le dispositif permet une flexion angulaire aisée du pied effectuée contre la force du ressort. Le pied peut également aisément revenir en position de repos, à savoir, à angle sensiblement droit par rapport à la jambe. L'irritation par frottement du pied, du cou-de-pied ou de la cheville sensiblement est empêchée.
