Purpose: Approximately 185 000 individuals undergo limb amputations every year. Of this
population, 40% experience lower extremity amputations. A common musculoskeletal …

Objective This systematic review aims to evaluate current literature for the prevalence,
causes, and effect of low back pain (LBP) in traumatic lower limb amputees, specifically its …

Background A mechanical ankle–foot prosthesis (Talaris Demonstrator) was developed to
improve prosthetic gait in people with a lower-limb amputation. This study aims to evaluate …

Prosthetic gait implies the use of compensatory motor strategies, including alterations in gait
biomechanics and adaptations in the neural control mechanisms adopted by the central …

Neonicotinoids are a group of pesticides widely used in agriculture and at home. Among
those pesticides, acetamiprid (ACM) is a broad-spectrum insecticide used for the protection …

Low back mechanics are important to quantify to study injury, pain and disability. As in vivo
forces are difficult to measure directly, modeling approaches are commonly used to estimate …

Many studies have shown that unilateral transfemoral amputation involves asymmetric gait.
Transfemoral amputation leads to muscle atrophy in a tight stump resulting in asymmetry in …
