PurposeGait parameters are altered and asymmetrical in individual with transtibial amputation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of four different prosthetic feet on lower-limb biomechanics during gait. MethodsOne young adult with transtibial ampution performed four gait analysis sessions with four foot-ankle prosthesis (Variflex, Meridium, Echelon, Kinterra). Kinematic, kinetic parameters and gait symmetry were analyzed during different prosthesis conditions. Re...
