| Abstract | This study aimed to investigate kinetics and kinematics of the ankle joint during level ground, ramp, and stair ambulations using different types of adaptive ankle feet (AAFs), Proprio-FootTM (Össur, IcEland), élan foot (Endolite, USA), and Echelon foot (Endolite, USA). A transtibial amputee was asked to walk on a level ground, a ramp with a 7° slope, and a stair of height 15 cm. The ankle angle and symmetry index (SI) based on the symmetry of the external work performed were measured for AAFs and ambulation. The single support time and stance phase during ambulation were higher for AAFs than the fixed ankle foot. During level ambulation, dorsiflexion increased for all AAFs. During slope ascent ambulation, dorsiflexion increased for the élan foot and Proprio-Foot™, as well as during the swing phase of the Echelon foot. During slope descent ambulation, the maximum dorsiflexion decreased for the Proprio-Foot™. During stair ascent, the élanElan foot and Proprio-Foot™ feet improved the dorsiflexion. During stair descent, all AAFs improved the dorsiflextion. Furthermore, SI increased for most of the adaptive ankle feet for all terrain conditions. These results indicate that AAFs can be used to improve the kinetics and kinematics of the ankle on the involved side. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
