Abstract
In order to make an energy efficient transfemoral prosthesis, there should be energy exchange between knee and ankle of the prosthesis. A concept containing various spring elements is designed and tested for a single subject. It is shown that the concept of energy exchange can be realized; in this specific situation up to 76 % of the mechanical energy is restored to support ankle plantar flexion during push-off.
