This biomechanical study investigated the benefits of a hydraulic ankle, focusing on two key aspects: the effects of a hydraulic system on minimum toe clearance and the adaptive behavior of hydraulic feet on slopes.
Learning Objectives:
learn about benefits hydraulic ankle can have for patients.
understand that there is a heigh variability in the outcome and (individual) setting of the hydraulic which is typical for persons with a transtibial amputation.
classify the demonstrated results in relation to the existing literature.
