“…Results would possibly differ when prosthetic systems are used that also incorporate flexible shank regions, such as those found in the Flex-Foot (Össur; Reykjavik, Iceland). However, as mentioned earlier, several studies have still found no difference in energy expenditure when the Flex-Foot is used compared with the SACH foot [4][5][6].…”

“…Energy cost and expenditure also correlate with level of amputation [2] and residual limb length [3] and have more recently been used in attempts to quantify differences between prosthetic feet within a population of prosthesis users. Three previous investigations on unilateral transtibial prosthesis users reported reduced energy expenditure with the use of energy storage and return (ESAR) prostheses compared with the solid-ankle cushioned heel (SACH) foot [4][5][6]. Seven other reports found no difference in energy expenditure with the use of the SACH and ESAR feet in persons with unilateral transtibial amputation [7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…An understanding of the biomechanics of amputee jumping and the identification of the compensatory mechanisms employed by amputees to achieve controlled flight is justified. Further, research into the design of prostheses is appropriate, in order to enhance their use in activities which are more vigorous and involve larger forces than walking and running, which have been well researched (Winter and Sienko 1988;Colborne et al 1992). …”

“…This study evaluates the differences in energy cost among prosthetic feet and the differ ences in energy cost between the vascular and trau matic groups. [21][22][23][24] The purpose of this study is to scientifically measure the dynamic gait characteristics of the ampu tee by using motion analysis and to measure the energy cost for the below-knee amputee when wearing the SACH, single axis and multiple axis prosthetic feet. The analysis will separate the subjects into the vascu lar group and the traumatic group for more specific evaluation of activity level by type of amputation.…”
