Through the use of a software interface, a patient is given physical sensations of different prostheses while operators select various brands and models. They try different stiffness categories and lengths, while examining the patient’s balance and performance. Because the springs are easily machined and available in various thicknesses, the design of the prosthetic can be optimized to offset patients’ natural weight and gait differences.
