Q

What is a Dynamic Response Energy Storing Foot’s actions?

A
  • Heel wedge compression - Compression of internal mechanism from midstance to heel-off - Dynamic push-off of keel from stored energy - Some feet provide inversion eversion and rotation

Q

An athlete that uses an energy storing foot for running typically uses less energy than a healthy limb. T/F

A

False (the stored energy propels them to run very fast and they perform like a normal limbed person. Doesn’t compromise energy or limit endurance)
