Effects on ankle power and sound limb load with an active prosthetic foot
Abstract: The performance of conventional prosthetic feet depends on material and construction principles. Certain powered feet can even generate net positive mechanical work in order to provide an active push-off. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of ankle power on the gait of transfemoral amputees. For this purpose level walking of six transfemoral amputees was analysed with a basic and an active foot and three different power settings of the latter. The results show clear advantages of the active foot in comparison with a basic foot. However, a strong relation of the sound side knee loading parameters with the varied ankle power outputs of the active foot couldn’t be shown.
