Abstract

We investigated the effect of below-knee prosthesis alignment on metabolic cost in simulation. Metabolic cost was reduced when the prosthesis was abducted or externally rotated, though not significantly. Further research should investigate how joint reaction forces are affected by prosthesis alignment.
