An investigation should be carried out into possible increased forces, torques and altered motions during motion of a load-bearing ankle after implantation of two different total ankle prostheses. A robot-based cadaver test was developed for the study. We hypothesized that the parameters investigated would not differ in relation to the two implants compared.
