Abstract
Dynamic elastic response prosthetic feet generally utilize a solid ankle, limiting dominant motion to the sagittal plane. However, researchers often use total rotational ankle joint power in the analysis of these feet. This investigation measured joint power terms in each plane for the Carbon Copy High Performance prosthetic foot. The significance of the frontal and transverse plane terms was assessed. Addition of these terms to the dominant sagittal power term revealed only slight differences, indicating that the sagittal power term is likely sufficient.Keywords
