this gave …
this gave advantages on races little bit longer than 100m… because the Gastrocnemius muscle (on people who have it) start to build up lactic acid wich decrease very much the performance (reaction time, and force aplied), and in case of Pistorius his reaction time on “foot” in each step and the force he applies on the ground keeps constant, wich make him catch the others guy on the end of the race.

People who think he …
People who think he gets an unfair advantage with these legs are absolute dumbasses. The only way those flex feet could give someone an advantage is if they were worn by someone who has legs, then they have the advantage of their own plus the prosthetics. They have tested their ability to return force and found they only return 80% of the force applied compared to the 200% of a human leg.

The flex feet …
The flex feet absorb more energy than they return, whereas the opposite is true with the human leg and this is because the flex feet do NOT simulate the forward flexing of the foot with the calf muscle. They would be comparable to an able-bodied runner not being able to flex their foot forward, pointing the toes and propelling off of the back leg with the calf muscles. They may bounce slightly, but in no way is this bounce as powerful as the forward flexing of a human foot with the calf muscle.
