Dataset description
These data relate to an investigation into the metabolic energy expenditure and gait signature of unilateral trans-tibial amputees (UTA) wearing a dynamic-response foot (DRF) with either a fixed or hydraulic 'ankle'. Findings suggest that use of a DRF with a small passive hydraulic ankle will provide clinically meaningful benefits in metabolic energy expenditure and kinematics to UTAs' everyday locomotion.
