The multi-axis articulated foot assembly is the best prosthetic for ambulation over uneven ground, and functions best for below knee amputations. Low functioning patients who need a prosthesis for transfers would probably benefit from a solid ankle, cushioned heel prosthesis. Runners and athletes often require high end carbon fiber prostheses. Patients with above knee amputations have several options to optimize ambulation including solid, energy storing, and multi-axial prothesis. Aaron et al. reviews the important considerations for patient specific prostheses and new developments on the horizon to maximize ambulation in prosthesis users.
