In 1996 I started developing an ankle system that would allow a BK hiker to go down hills with full motion of his or her prosthetic leg. I developed this leg to the point that it is in this video. Lack of funds for the further development of this unusual ankle system caused me to lay it aside in 2002. Thus it is with many good ideas that never have the opportunity for further development.

  • That looks really good! Why didnt you patent it and just try to sell the concept to the big suppliers?

  • wow thats cool, i lost my leg above the knee 5 months ago and i really struggle with slopes, would this work with a prosthetic that has a knee joint??
