Patients have found that the design also accommodates for small changes in heel height. Previous studies comparing the Talux with other prosthetic feet did not report the similarities between the prosthetic and the sound side. The aim of the study was twofold: to determine the similarities in gait parameters between the prosthetic and sound sides and to determine how much change in heel height can be accommodated by the Talux prosthetic foot. To achieve this aim, we evaluated selected gait parameters. We compared the spatial and temporal gait parameters, hip, knee, and ankle kinematics, and knee kinetics on the prosthetic versus sound side, and we compared the parameters when patients were walking with different lifts under the heels in 10 nonvascular amputees wearing the Talux.
