Characterizing the interaction effects of modular components on transtibial prosthesis stance-phase mechanical behavior
Inclusion of modular components in a transtibial prosthetic system can have complex mechanical interactions that independently affect the system's response to load. It is important for clinicians to be aware of the cumulative effects of these interactions to inform the tuning of transtibial prosthesis mechanical behavior. Combinations of hydraulic ankles and SAPs can help clinicians adjust the prosthesis to achieve a balance between user comfort and energy return.
