articulating ankle joint. The healthy ankle is able to easily adapt to the changing slope and plantar- or dorsiflex accordingly. However‚ amputees typically have to make other compensatory actions in order to aid in the ascension and dissension of slopes. These compensations can cause long-term health problems and can be harmful and potentially lead to injuries. Results from this study on healthy subjects were compared to a study previously performed on amputees that quantified the effect of ankle range-of-motion
