Increased knee extension during stance can be a result of a heel that is too soft or a foot that placed is too anterior. Posterior placement of the prosthetic foot or a heel that is too hard will increase knee flexion/instability at heel strike. A prosthetic foot that is too far inset produces varus strain, pain (proximal/medial and distal/lateral) at the socket, and a circumducted gait. A prosthetic foot that is too far outset will produce valgus strain, socket pain that is proximal/lateral and distal/medial, and a broad-based gait.
