Development of a Controlled Energy Storage and Release (CESR

Unlike conventional spring designs that return energy spontaneously, the CESR mechanism can optimally adjust the timing of energy release. It delays the return of energy until push-off, where it acts as a partial substitute for the intact ankle. This design has been shown to reduce the energy penalty of ambulating with a prosthetic foot by 40%.
