Abstract:Passive-elastic prosthetic feet are manufactured with different numerical stiffness categories that are prescribed based on the body mass and activity level of the user, but the mechanical properties, such as the stiffness values and hysteresis are not typically reported by the manufacturer. Since the mechanical properties of passive-elastic prosthetic feet can affect the walking biomechanics of people with transtibial or transfemoral amputation, characterizing these properties would provide objective values f… Show more
