INTRODUCTION The Össur Pro-Flex is a 3-blade carbon fiber prosthetic foot designed to provide greater ankle range of motion compared to conventional energy storing and returning prosthetic feet1,2. To provide knowledge on Pro-Flex biomechanical performance, kinematic and kinetic gait parameters were evaluated and compared with the Össur Pro-Flex XC prosthetic foot. Outcomes from this study provide clinical professionals with important decision-making knowledge about two innovative energy storing and returning prosthetic feet.

INTRODUCTION Myoelectric hands progressed from single grip hands (traditional myoelectric devices (TH)) to be multi-grip hands (MGH) which are hypothesized to bring more degrees of freedom, greater range of motion and improved grasping capabilities1,2. Their impact on patients’ lives has been documented in only a few case studies. The Strategic Consortium for Upper Limb Prosthetic Technologies (SCULPT) aims to assess the potential benefits MGH with respect to function and  patient satisfaction compared to TH systems.

An optimally aligned prosthesis, as accomplished by the subjective judgment of the prosthetist, guarantees the best quality of gait. Yet, amputees can adapt to a large variety of geometrical configurations of the prosthetic components. Different external rotation angles of the foot in trans-tibial (TT) prostheses were investigated. The study tried to identify (a) the relationship between foot angle and other gait parameters and (b) the compensating pattern of the amputees to excessive external rotation of the foot. Eight (8) TT amputees, fitted with an identical type of prosthesis, were investigated during ambulation. The prosthetic foot was externally rotated as follows: optimal angle (10.94°±5.21°), optimal angle plus another 18°, and optimal angle plus another 36°. Analysis of gait was performed with the aid of an electronic walkway. Speed of gait, stance and swing time, and foot angle were monitored in 4 runs for each of the three foot angles. Speed of gait remained almost constant in the three tests. Stance and swing time, as well as step length, significantly changed when 36° were added to the optimal foot angle. This foot position significantly influenced inter-legs time difference and symmetry between the legs. During ambulation, prosthetic foot external rotation was decreased by internal rotation of the limb at the hip joint level. It is concluded that TT amputees can maintain an efficient speed of gait even when the prosthetic foot is malpositioned in excessive external rotation. Although such a malalignment significantly influences other gait parameters during walking, amputees are able to adapt themselves by internal rotation of the hip joint in the amputated leg.
