| 5 | h3. Phases from the prespective of the ankle |
||

||
| 8 | ** Neutral (90°), slight dorsiflexion. Preparing for response. |
||
| 9 | * Loading response |
||
| 10 | ** Plantar flexion (10°). Function: Shock response. |
||
| 11 | * Mid stance |
||
| 12 | ** Dorsiflexion (from 8° plantarflex to 5° dorsiflex). Function: Allow forward progression of tibia. |
||
| 13 | * Terminal stance |
||
| 14 | ** Heel rise (doriflexion up to 10°) |
||
| 15 | * Pre-swing |
||
| 16 | ** Plantar-flexion (20°). Function: Initiate knee flexion for swing. |
||

| 20 | h1. Ankle design ideas |
||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | * Flexible sole |
||
| 23 | * Hinge joint motorized |
||
| 24 | ** Possible second axis of swivel |
||
| 25 | * Springs or elastic for "natural" shock absorption |
||
| 26 | 3 | Kristján Oddsson | * Possibilities for more gait types than heel to toe roll |
