Article Synopsis
- Transtibial amputees can use advanced prosthetic feet, like Microprocessor Prosthetic Ankles (MPA), to better adapt to different terrains during rehabilitation.
- A study compared three MPA models (Propriofoot™, Elan™, and Meridium™) against a traditional energy-storing foot (ESR) by analyzing their ankle performance during walking on level ground and slopes.
- Key findings indicate that while all MPA models improved ankle angle adaptation compared to the ESR, they showed reduced energy available for propulsion, with each model exhibiting different strengths in range of motion and energy release.
