Biomechanical Evaluation of a Novel, Compliant Low Profile Prosthetic Foot
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Layered Low Profile Foot and Prescribed Ankle for Amputation. Completed, enrolled 6 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators have developed a novel layered low-profile prosthetic foot that is able to provide enhanced compliance without sacrificing strength for individuals with transtibial amputation who have long residual limbs. It is hypothesized that the proposed prosthesis will offer similar benefits to these individuals as comparable higher profile prostheses offer users with shorter residual limbs. The primary goal of this Phase I proposal is to assess the degree to which the proposed prosthesis can provide benefits to prosthesis users in this population, along with characterizing the degree to which the novel prosthesis emulates its taller counterparts.

Interventions
The layered LPF is a novel low-profile prosthetic foot that provides compliant behavior while simultaneously exhibiting high mechanical strength.
The prescribed ankle is the prosthetic ankle that the subject wears for daily use.
