An efficient energy storage & return prosthesis
Amputee gait is characterised by a higher metabolic cost of walking compared with anatomically intact subjects. Anatomically intact gait kinetics reveals that tendons crossing the ankle joint store and return strain energy during the stance phase of walking to provide forward propulsion. One of the...
