A personalised exercise programme for individuals with lower limb amputation reduces falls and improves gait biomechanics: A block randomised controlled trial
Abstract Background Lower limb amputees (LLAs) are at increased risk of falling due to the
inherent asymmetry resulting from their limb loss, muscle weakness and other neuro …

Optimally-calibrated non-invasive feedback improves amputees' metabolic consumption, balance and walking confidence
Objective. Lower-limb amputees suffer from a variety of health problems, including higher
metabolic consumption and low mobility. These conditions are linked to the lack of a natural …

Neural sensory stimulation does not interfere with the H-reflex in individuals with lower limb amputation
Introduction Individuals with lower limb loss experience an increased risk of falls partly due
to the lack of sensory feedback from their missing foot. It is possible to restore plantar …
