E-Descent (Easy Descent)
What is E-Descent (Easy Descent)?
Easy Descent makes descending ramps and stairs more natural. Stair descent can now be done with a whole foot on the stairs (from the second step onwards).
E-Features by default are deactivated, to activate the feature, please follow the steps listed here:
How to Enable E-Series Feature?
E-Features are available on Intuy Knee RISE and Intuy Knee PRO devices.

How to Initiate Stair Descent with E-Descent?
To initiate a step with the prosthetic foot there are three sequences in action.
- To trigger descent mode using E-Descent, place half of the foot on the edge of the step.
- For the remaining steps, you no longer need to put half a foot at the edge of the step. The whole foot can be on the step. The knee will actively and safely flex right after the foot touches the step.
Note: For safety reasons, it is always recommended holding onto handrails when descending/ascending stairs/ramps
E-Descent ON
After initiating stair descent (first step) by putting half of the foot on the step, the user can proceed to place the whole foot on a step.
E-Descent OFF
When the feature is switched off, putting a whole foot on the step will cause the leg to lock up. The user must put half of the foot on the step to ensure a safe descent. This is how a Standard Intuy Knee software works, as explained in this video.
