Following amputation, people with transfemoral amputation (TFA) and transtibial amputation
(TTA) adapt with asymmetrical movements in the spinal and lower-limb joints. The aim of this …

Lower limb amputation often leads to biomechanical and neurological changes that can
reduce mobility, increase pain levels, speed joint degeneration, and otherwise negatively …

Background More than 50% of lower limb prosthesis (LLP) users report falling at least once
a year, placing them at high risk for adverse health outcomes such as decreased mobility …

A self-paced treadmill automatically adjusts speed in real-time to match the user's walking
speed, potentially enabling more natural gait than fixed-speed treadmills. This research …

Purpose: Describe and quantify how people with transfemoral amputations (TFA) maintain
stable gait over a variety of surfaces; including, downhill and uphill, top and bottom-cross …

Uneven walking surfaces pose challenges to balance, especially in individuals with lower
extremity amputation. The purpose of this study was to determine if lateral stability of …

Previous literature reports greater metabolic demand of walking following transtibial
amputation. However, most research focuses on relatively older, less active, and often …

Most clinically available prosthetic feet have a rigid attachment or incorporate an “ankle”
device allowing elastic articulation during stance, with the foot returning to a “neutral” …

BACKGROUND: Recent research has focused on the design of intelligent prosthetic ankle
devices with the goal of adapting behavior of the device to accommodate all walking …

Lower limb amputation substantially disrupts motor and proprioceptive function. People with
lower limb amputation experience considerable impairments in walking ability, including …
