Spinal, pelvic, and hip movement asymmetries in people with lower-limb amputation: Systematic review
Following amputation, people with transfemoral amputation (TFA) and transtibial amputation
(TTA) adapt with asymmetrical movements in the spinal and lower-limb joints. The aim of this …

Gait asymmetry and variability in older adults during long-distance walking: Implications for gait instability
Background Physical exercise, such as walking, is imperative to older adults. However, long-
distance walking may increase walking instability which exposes them to some fall risks …

Walking asymmetry and its relation to patient-reported and performance-based outcome measures in individuals with unilateral lower limb loss
CK Wong, EE Vandervort, KM Moran… - International …, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
Gait asymmetry persists for most people after lower limb amputation and is associated with
slower walking speeds. However, the relationship between gait asymmetry and patient …

Does long-distance walking improve or deteriorate walking stability of transtibial amputees?
Background Falls are common in transtibial amputees which are linked to their poor stability.
While amputees are encouraged to walk more, they are more vulnerable to fatigue which …

Effects of long-distance walking on socket-limb interface pressure, tactile sensitivity and subjective perceptions of trans-tibial amputees
Purpose: Many trans-tibial amputees could not tolerate long-distance walking. Lack of
walking could explain for the increased cardiovascular diseases mortality rate. This study …
