Energy storing and return prosthetic feet improve step length symmetry while preserving margins of stability in persons with transtibial amputation

Abstract Background Energy storing and return (ESAR) feet are generally preferred over solid ankle cushioned heel (SACH) feet by people with a lower limb amputation. While ESAR feet have been shown to have only limited effect on gait economy, other functional benefits should account for this prefere...
