Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to identify prosthesis stiffness that optimizes balance control in individuals with below knee amputations. The main question this clinical trial will answer is: • Is there an optimal stiffness that improves balance control for specific ambulatory activities and users? Participants will wear a novel prosthesis assembled with three prosthetic feet with a range of stiffness levels: each individual's clinically-prescribed foot stiffness and ± two stiffness categories. While wearing the study prostheses, participants will perform nine ambulatory activities of daily living (walking at different speeds, turning, ramp ascent/descent, while carrying a load, and while walking on uneven terrain).

Primary Outcome

Frontal plane whole-body angular momentum is a measure of the extent to which a person will rotate in the frontal plane in the absence of an external force or torque. The peak-to-peak range quantifies how much this metric varies and is used to describe a person's balance.

Interventions

  • DEVICE As-prescribed stiffness
  • DEVICE Two categories stiffer than the as-prescribed stiffness
  • DEVICE Two categories less stiff than the as-prescribed stiffness
