Below knee amputee runners exhibit abnormalities in the mechanical work characteristics of the lower extremity musculature during stance phase. The most significant abnormality is a marked reduction in the mechanical work done in the stance phase prosthetic limb. Energy transfer across the hip joint to the trunk during deceleration of the swing phase leg may be an important energy distribution mechanism...
Gait analysis has been used to study amputee ambulation. The question that is being posed is whether or not this research has lead to an improvement in the care of the amputee through improved rehabilitation programs or improved prosthetic design. A conceptual framework is presented to evaluate these contributions under the three domains of residual limb discomfort and mechanical skin injury, reduced...
