Fig. 6 — Individual postural strategies in standing on inclinations. Strategies used while standing on an upward slope of 10° (lower array) and on a downward slope (upper array). The individual posture is highlighted with red (prosthetic side) and dashed-green (sound side) bars for amputees (D2-D5 and U2-U5). The pictures in the first column (D1 and U1) show the posture of a non-amputee. It is almost identical with the posture of amputees equipped with a prosthetic foot that adapt fully to the inclinations and apply a dorisflexing stop (D2 and U2). The amputees use compensational postures if equipped with feet not adapting to the incline (D3-D5 and U3-U5). Note that the different individual compensation strategies shown in D3-D5 are the outcome of the same MPF
