Ankle motion

Colleagues,
Can anyone tell me if any studies have been, or are currently being conducted
to establish the benfits of ankle motion in prosthetic feet?
This seems intuitively to be a benefit since it mimicks natural biomechanics.
Adding a dynamic response characteristic would be an additional benefit for
the more active amputee. Am I right about this?
Should we be prescribing feet with ankle motion whenever possible?
Are you doing this in your practice?
