The asymmetrical gait of individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation has been well
documented. However, there is not a wealth of investigation into asymmetries during the …

Background Individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation are prone to developing
health conditions such as knee osteoarthritis, caused by additional loading on the intact …

During human locomotion, each limb performs step-to-step work on the body center of mass
to maintain forward walking. This energy exchange relies on physiological mechanisms …

Understanding the lower-limb coordination of individuals with unilateral transfemoral
amputation (uTFA) while walking is essential to understand their gait mechanisms …

In South America, there are few companies that are interested in the creation of prostheses
and this, together with the little technological progress, makes patients with transfemoral …

Adaptive locomotion is an essential behavior for animals to survive. The central pattern
generator in the spinal cord is responsible for the basic rhythm of locomotion through …

Gait pattern classification in individuals with lower-limb amputation could help in developing
personalized prosthetic prescriptions and tailored gait rehabilitation. However, systematic …

This study aimed to compare the ground reaction forces (GRFs) and spatio-temporal
parameters as well as their asymmetry ratios in gait between individuals wearing a …

Decreased loading of the paretic lower limb and impaired weight transfer between limbs
negatively impact balance control and forward progression during gait in individuals post …

Transfemoral prosthesis users (TFPUs) typically have a high risk of balance loss and falling.
Whole-body angular momentum (is a common measure for assessing dynamic balance …
