Add to ORKGConventional passive prosthetic feet cannot provide net positive mechanical energy, causing a strong reduction in push-off work. This decrease the comfortable walking speed and increases the metabolic cost of walking in amputees, as more than half of the positive work performed during able-bodied gait is done during the powered plantar flexion at the ankle joint. A possible contribution to enhance push-off is to utilize passive prostheses that can store and release energy by means of springs. This restores the push-off partially, enabling a higher self-selected walking speed and a lower metabolic cost. Effective energy release at push-off is not just a matter of higher energy storage, but the release also needs to be well timed. Controlling...
