A Test-Drive Strategy for the Prescription of Prosthetic Feet for People With Leg Amputations

Participants will walk in the laboratory with the Prosthetic Foot Emulator (PFE) in three foot modes corresponding to actual study feet. Walking conditions will include self-selected speed, slow speed, fast speed, incline, and up stairs.

"Participants will walk in the laboratory with three different commercially available prosthetic feet. Walking conditions will include self-selected speed, slow speed, fast speed, incline, and up stairs.~Additionally, participants will be fit with one of the actual feet and wear it at home and in the community for approximately two weeks. This will be followed by two-week periods in the community with each of the other two commercially available prosthetic feet."
