DEVICE

Caesar Foot

The investigators developed a bimodal, passive mechanical prosthetic foot called the Caesar Foot. The Caesar Foot has two modes: one optimized for walking, and one optimized for higher-energy activities like running. It has a switching device that was designed such that when it switches modes, it inherently accounts for the alignment and stiffness differences between walking and running feet (such as the longer length, higher stiffness, and different ground contact points required for running feet). Therefore, it should be largely comparable to a daily use prosthesis / walking foot when in walking mode, and an running specific prosthesis / running blade when in running mode. This foot is attached and aligned to the user's usual prosthetic socket.
