OBJECTIVE:: The purpose of this systematic review was to identify which biomechanical and
physiological parameters are the most relevant, commonly used, able to discriminate and/or …

A systematic review of outcome measures used in the field of lower limb prosthetics between
1995 and 2005 shows a multitude of measures currently in use in prosthetic rehabilitation; …

Current lower-limb prostheses do not provide active assistance in postural control tasks to
maintain the user's balance, particularly in situations of perturbation. In this study, we aimed …

Objective To assess construct validity of the Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS-
M), a self-report mobility measure for people with lower limb amputation (LLA). Design Cross …

Above-knee amputation severely reduces the mobility and quality of life of millions of
individuals. Walking with available leg prostheses is highly inefficient, and poor walking …

Background Use of outcome measures to examine outcomes of amputation is complicated
by a number of factors, including ease of administration and lack of scientific evidence to …

Lower limb prostheses that can generate net positive mechanical work may restore more
ambulation modes to amputees. However, configuration of these devices imposes an …

Hafner BJ, Willingham LL, Buell NC, Allyn KJ, Smith DG. Evaluation of function,
performance, and preference as transfemoral amputees transition from mechanical to …

Powered lower limb prosthesis technologies hold the promise of providing greater ability
and mobility to transfemoral amputees. Intent recognition systems for these devices may …

Manufacturers of microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee mechanisms, specifically the C-
Leg®(Otto Bock; Minneapolis, Minnesota), claim the knee allows subjects to seamlessly …
