Abstract Summary
Asymmetric loading of unilateral bone-anchored limb prostheses in walking animals has been attributed to low power production at the passive ankle prosthesis due to high stiffness of the prosthetic foot. We compared power developed by a bone-anchored prosthesis with stiff and compliant feet during walking in cats. We found that foot compliance alone does not improve the symmetry of loading.
