Abstract—Although physical limitations associated with transfemoral amputation (TFA) have
been studied in laboratory settings, little is known about habitual activity within free-living …

This study compared the general activity during 1 week and detailed activity during a 24-hr
period of 48 established unilateral transtibial prostheses users. Activity was measured by …

Background: Adults postamputation are not meeting physical activity recommendations.
Physical activity is an important consideration in prosthetic prescription. The objective of this …

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of a home-based multiple-speed treadmill training
program to improve gait performance in persons with a transfemoral amputation (TFA) …

A recent development in prosthetics is the osseointegrated fixation (OF), with improvements
in comfort, fatigue, hip movement, and ease of prosthetic attachment reported. However, little …

Background It is recognized that multifactorial assessments are needed to evaluate balance
and locomotor function in people with lower limb amputation. There is no consensus on …

OBJECTIVE: Determining the feasibility of implementing a new concept to objectively
evaluate actual functional abilities of transfemoral amputees into a new measuring tool …

Objective Low back pain (LBP) is prevalent in people with transfemoral amputation (TFA),
imposing significant disability. Yet, limited data exist describing spine kinematics in people …

Background: The literature comparing bone-anchored prosthesis (BAP) with socket
prosthesis (SP) consistently reports improvement in physical health and quality of life using …

Background There exists a dearth of evidence on rehabilitation factors that influence
prosthetic mobility in people with lower limb amputation (LLA). Examining variables that …
