DOI: 10.1186/s12984-019-0508-x
Abstract: BackgroundPrevious research has shown that use of a dynamic-response prosthetic foot (DRF) that incorporates a small passive hydraulic ankle device (hyA-F), provides certain biomechanical benefits over using a DRF that has no ankle mechanism (rigA-F).… read more here.
