Brief Summary:
Most prosthetic feet have a fixed heel height, which requires users to always wear shoes with the same heel height. A fixed heel height is a significant constraint, whereas the ability to choose one's clothing freely is an important aspect of coping with a physical disability.
The Taleo Adjust is a prosthetic foot with a hydraulic ankle that allows the user to adjust the heel height from 0 to 7 cm, depending on the type of shoe worn.
This study aims to evaluate the impact of an adjustable-heel-height foot on physical appearance and participation.

Detailed Description:
The amputation or absence of a lower limb affects both mobility and appearance, which can lead to restrictions in social, family, and professional participation. The choice of prosthetic components aims to compensate as effectively as possible for the functional and physical disability, in line with the patient's expectations and life plan.
The prosthetic foot is a key component of the prosthesis. Most feet have a fixed heel height-most often around 10 to 15 mm-which requires users to always wear shoes with the same heel height, since prosthetic alignment, essential for harmonious and safe walking, is set accordingly.
A fixed heel height is a significant constraint for many users who wish to wear different types of shoes for aesthetic reasons (e.g., city shoes or pumps for work or going out; flip-flops or flat ballet flats in summer), for safety reasons (e.g., boots for motorcycling or gardening), or to be able to walk barefoot (e.g., at home). The ability to choose one's clothing freely is an important aspect of coping with a physical disability.
The Taleo Adjust is an energy-storing and energy-returning prosthetic foot with a hydraulic ankle that allows the user to adjust the heel height from 0 to 7 cm, depending on the type of shoe worn. Thanks to this articulation, prosthetic alignment is preserved and walking quality is not compromised.
