What are the different kinds of prosthetic feet?
1. SACH: durable, light, inexpensive. Best on flat, level surfaces.
2. Single axis: ankle movement in one plane, heavier.
3. Multi-axis: good for active amputee, greater weight and maintenance.
4. Flexible keel (SAFE, STEN): ambulation on uneven surfaces
5. Energy storing/dynamic response (flexfoot): good for running and jumping
