AB  - Knowledge of loads acting on running specific prostheses (RSP), and in particular 
      on running prosthetic feet (RPF), is crucial for evaluating athletes' technique, 
      designing safe feet, and biomechanical modelling. The aim of this work was to 
      develop a J-shaped and a C-shaped wearable instrumented running prosthetic foot 
      (iRPF) starting from commercial RPF, suitable for load data collection on the 
      track. The sensing elements are strain gauge bridges mounted on the foot in a 
      configuration that allows decoupling loads parallel and normal to the socket-foot 
      clamp during the stance phase. The system records data on lightweight 
      athlete-worn loggers and transmits them via Wi-Fi to a base station for real-time 
      monitoring. iRPF calibration procedure and static and dynamic validation of 
      predicted ground-reaction forces against those measured by a force platform 
      embedded in the track are reported. The potential application of this wearable 
      system in estimating determinants of sprint performance is presented.
