Effects of prosthetic design parameters on running performance of a unilateral transfemoral amputee

Carbon fiber running-specific prostheses (RSPs) are widely used among lower-limb amputee runners. However, which prosthesis provides the best performance for runners remains unknown. For this purpose, a computational model of the human body with a prosthesis was created and the effect of the prosthe...
