<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1995877/open_sms">Send us a text</a>What if everything we think we know about human walking is oversimplified?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Steven Gard a biomedical engineer and leading gait researcher.  We unpack the real biomechanics behind prosthetic design. From artificial heart labs to O&P innovation, Dr. Gard shares surprising insights on:<ul><li>Why shock absorption and “energy return” don’t always behave the way prosthetic marketing suggests</li><li>How soft tissue acts as a natural spring, changing everything about how force is transmitted through a limb</li><li>The ongoing debate between ischial containment, subischial, and elevated vacuum sockets — and why no design is one-size-fits-all</li><li>Where microprocessor knees and 3D printing fit into the future of mobility</li><li>The missing link between engineering theory and clinical practice</li></ul>Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, or just prosthetics-curious — this episode reframes gait in a way you’ve never heard before.Special thanks to <a href='https://www.adv3dinc.com'>Advanced 3D</a> for sponsoring this episode.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1995877/support">Support the show</a>
