Effects of a flat prosthetic foot rocker section on balance and mobility.
Previous studies have shown that the effective rocker shape of the physiologic ankle-foot system during standing and fore-aft swaying is much flatter than that used during walking, which indicates a more stable base of support for the standing/swaying activity. Previous work suggests that flat regions within the effective rocker shapes of prosthetic ankle-foot systems could provide enhanced sta...

متن کاملThe effects of prosthetic foot stiffness on transtibial amputee walking mechanics and balance control during turning.
BACKGROUND Little evidence exists regarding how prosthesis design characteristics affect performance in tasks that challenge mediolateral balance such as turning. This study assesses the influence of prosthetic foot stiffness on amputee walking mechanics and balance control during a continuous turning task. METHODS Three-dimensional kinematic and kinetic data were collected from eight unilate...
