Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The biomechanical effects on walking caused by different prosthetic foot settings quantified by instrumental 3D gait analysis. The gait analysis is carried out after the adaptation of the prosthetic foot and a test phase of at least two weeks in the gait lab of the Orthopedic University Clinic Heidelberg.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The biomechanical effects of quite standing caused by different prosthetic foot settings. The effects are quantified by instrumental 3D gait analysis and a special balancing protocol (BALEVA).
