Automatic Prosthetic Foot Stiffness Modulation to Improve Balance

A novel prosthesis that includes a low-profile prosthetic foot whose stiffness category is determined by the person's body weight and activity level (standard clinical practice).

A novel prosthesis that includes a low-profile prosthetic foot whose stiffness category is two categories stiffer than the as-prescribed stiffness.
