After a transtibial amputation, the prosthetic foot aims at replacing the missing ankle joint.
Due to alteration of proprioception and mobility, the static balance of amputees is …

Stochastic resonance has been successfully used to improve human movement when using
subthreshold vibration. Recent work has shown promise in improving mobility in individuals …

Methods Ten individuals with unilateral transtibial amputation and categorized as minimum
K3-level ambulators participated. Standing balance and gait analyses at three self-selected …

Objectively monitored free-living physical behaviours of adults with and without lower limb
amputation (LLA) were compared. Methods: 57 adults with LLA wore an activPAL3™ for 8 …

Asymmetry between the prosthetic and the intact leg may cause discomfort and seriously
deteriorate people's quality of life. It is important to know the current status of asymmetry …

Virtual reality (VR) has been widely used for training purposes, including in prosthetic foot
rehabilitation training systems. Using VR, lower-limb amputees can be trained to walk safely …

The objective of this thesis was to determine the effect of augmented sensory feedback and
mechanical support on traumatic unilateral transtibial prosthesis users' postural stability …

This study compares the prosthetic gait asymmetry in transfemoral amputees with varied
femoral lengths to able-bodied participants in terms of temporal-spatial parameters and joint …

Background: Many factors affect the rehabilitation of lower limb amputation. One of these
factors is the length of the stump. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the …

Background: In some cultures, shoes are not worn indoors. Prosthesis use barefoot can lead
to pressure injuries and loss of balance due to abnormal residual limb loading. Objective …
