Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Quantification of the pressure load on the forefoot amputation relatively to the clinical appearance and treatment concept.<br>The aim of the study is to quantify the biomechanical leverage of indiviudel prosthetic device and to optimise the device according to aquired parameters. By observing the cohort, parameters for future prosthetic concepts are to be derived. <br>3D motion analysis is used to record the gait pattern. To measure the sole pressure, pressure measuring soles are used in the shoe.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
A comparison of the prosthetic devices with respect to the restoration of the lost forefoot Lever.
