A lower limb prosthesis provides assistance to its user in both ambulation and stationary support. The lower limb prosthesis consists of a socket, which interfaces with the residual limb, a pylon, attachment hardware to secure the pylon to the socket, and a prosthetic foot. For the prosthesis to be...
