Most prosthetic feet have a fixed heel height, which requires users to always wear shoes with the same heel height. A fixed heel height is a significant constraint, whereas the ability to choose one's clothing freely is an important aspect of coping with a physical disability. The Taleo Adjust is a prosthetic foot with a hydraulic ankle that allows the user to adjust the heel height from 0 to 7 cm, depending on the type of shoe worn. This study aims to evaluate the impact of an adjustable-heel-height foot on physical appearance and participation.
