Background: Prescribing optimal prosthetic feet to ensure successful rehabilitation is difficult since there are no generally established clinical guidelines based on objective data. Aim: To investigate the effect of using non-articulated dynamic foot (non-articulating ankle, NAA) and dynamic foot with hydraulic ankle (articulating hydraulic ankle, AHA) on functional capacity, pain severity, satisfaction level and quality of life (QoL) in high activity patients with unilateral transtibial amputation.
