Smart foot mimics natural ankle twist for amputees
NCT ID NCT03532100
Summary
This study tested a new type of prosthetic foot designed to move more like a real ankle. Researchers wanted to find the best setting for how much the foot should twist when a person walks. Fourteen people with a below-the-knee amputation tried the adjustable foot while walking in straight lines and circles to see which setting felt best and reduced strain.
