quality of life, but payers have recently started questioning their value. To answer this …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the barriers and facilitators to physical
activity from multiple stakeholder perspectives including individuals with LLA and health …

Purpose The benefits of advanced hydraulic microprocessor controlled knee (MPK) joints
have been well established and repeatedly confirmed. The Genium knee was introduced in …

Objective Persons with a transfemoral amputation or knee-disarticulation are heavily reliant
on an adequate set of components for their prosthesis. To improve the process of adjusting …

Background The benefits of a microprocessor-controlled knee are well documented in
transfemoral amputees who are unlimited community ambulators. There have been …

Background: Hundreds of investigations examining biomechanical outcomes of various
prostheses have been completed, but one question remains unanswered: how much time …
