The influence of powered prostheses on user perspectives, metabolics, and activity: a randomized crossover trial

Abstract Background Powered prosthetic ankles provide battery-powered mechanical push-off, with the aim of reducing the metabolic demands of walking for people with transtibial amputations. The efficacy of powered ankles has been shown in active, high functioning individuals with transtibial amputat...
