Functional Assessment of High-profile Crossover Feet in People With Syme's Amputation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Crossover foot and Energy Storing Foot for Amputation and Artificial Limb. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the functional differences between two types of foot prostheses for people with ankle disarticulation (Syme's) amputations. The two feet being tested are low- and high-profile feet, with the difference being the latter has an extended keel and attaches to the posterior of the prosthetic socket, rather than the distal end. The hypothesis is that the high-profile foot (i.e., the crossover foot) will lead to functional and biomechanical improvements compared to low-profile feet.
