Increasing prosthetic foot energy return affects whole-body mechanics during walking on level ground and slopes

Prosthetic feet are designed to store energy during early stance and then release a portion of that energy during late stance. The usefulness of providing more energy return depends on whether or not that energy transfers up the lower limb to aid in whole body propulsion. This research examined how...
