The effects of ankle stiffness on mechanics and energetics of walking with added loads: a prosthetic emulator study

BACKGROUND: The human ankle joint has an influential role in the regulation of the mechanics and energetics of gait. The human ankle can modulate its joint ‘quasi-stiffness’ (ratio of plantarflexion moment to dorsiflexion displacement) in response to various locomotor tasks (e.g., load carriage). Ho...
