Assessment of a Microprocessor Ankle for Low Mobility Individuals with Amputation: Phase I
This study is being done to conduct a preliminary investigation into a new prosthetic microprocessor controlled ankle, called the Damping, Stiffness, and Repositioning (DSR) ankle. Participants will visit the Shirley Ryan Ðǿմ«Ã½ÊÓÆµ 10-16 times over 9 weeks, each visit lasting approximately 3 hours, to perform a series of walking and mobility tests with both their own prosthetic ankle and the DSR ankle.
