AmputeeActivity monitoringGait trainingProstheticsThe extent of prosthesis use is reported for 104 lower limb amputees from the onset of gait training up to 2 years later. Subjects were divided into groups according to age (greater than or equal to 65 years or less than 65 years) and amputation...
No significant difference was observed in foot positioning and foot clearance between the amputee and control groups. Temporospatial data revealed a number of significant differences between the groups, particularly during stair ascent. Amputees were observed to walk with a slower velocity and cadence ...
