Evidence suggests that the metabolic cost associated with the locomotive activity of walking is dependent upon ankle stiffness. This stiffness can be a control parameter in an ankle-foot prosthesis. Considering unique physical interaction between each individual with below-knee amputation and robotic ankle-foot prosthesis, individually tuned stiffness in a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis may improve...
