Collins from the Department of Bio-mechanical Engineering, Delft University of Technology and Arthur D. Kuo from Departments of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, University of Michigan. This artificial foot recycles electricity using a micro-controller that operates a device which stores energy from the down step and then releases it on the up step, similar to the ankle movement of a human ankle. According to research, subjects who use an artificial ankle increase their net metabolic energy expenditure by 23% as compared to normal walking. This ankle however, helps reduce that amount to just 14%.<\/p>\n<p>This development will prove to be a great advantage to those who use prosthetic feet with its energy recycling capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.slipperybrick.com\/2010\/02\/energy-recycling-artificial-foot\/?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SlipperyBrick+(Slippery+Brick)&#038;utm_content=Google+Reader\">Slipperybrick<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest in recycling energy technology, this prosthetic foot was developed and detailed by Steven H.
