[HTML][HTML] A scoping review on minimum foot clearance: an exploration of level-ground clearance in individuals with abnormal gait
Background: Falls are a major health concern, with one in three adults over the age of 65
falling each year. A key gait parameter that is indicative of tripping is minimum foot clearance …

A personalised exercise programme for individuals with lower limb amputation reduces falls and improves gait biomechanics: A block randomised controlled trial
Abstract Background Lower limb amputees (LLAs) are at increased risk of falling due to the
inherent asymmetry resulting from their limb loss, muscle weakness and other neuro …

Subject-specific responses to an adaptive ankle prosthesis during incline walking
Individuals with lower-limb amputation often have difficulty walking on slopes, in part due to
limitations of conventional prosthetic feet. Conventional prostheses have fixed ankle set …
