Endurance, Energy Expenditure, Perceived Function, and Satisfaction of Persons With Transtibial Limb Loss Using a Running-Specific Prosthesis Modified for Walking
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Energy storing foot (ESF) and Modified running specific foot (mRSF) for Transtibial Amputation. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to evaluate endurance, walking performance, mobility, and perceived exertion of transtibial prosthesis users (i.e., study participants) walking with a conventional energy storing prosthetic foot (ESF) and a novel modified running-specific prosthesis (mRSF). A randomized cross-over study will be conducted to determine if the mRSF provides superior performance to the ESF, which is commonly prescribed to most active individuals with lower limb amputation.
