The functionality verification through pilot human subject testing of myflex-: an esr foot prosthesis with spherical ankle joint

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    In this paper, the authors present Myflex-δ, an energy-storing-and-releasing (ESR) foot prosthesis with a spherical joint as ankle joint. The importance of developing a foot prosthesis that also considers the abduction-adduction (rotation in the transverse plane) and the inversion-eversion (rotation in the frontal plane) is justified by the fact that even the healthy foot, during level-ground walking, not only rotates in the sagittal plane, but eversion-inversion and adduction-abduction also occur. The rotations of the foot prosthesis to adapt to the ground conditions depend on the loads . . .
