Can microprocessor knees reduce the disparity in trips and falls risks between above and below knee prosthesis users?
While all lower limb prosthesis walkers have a high risk of tripping and/or falling, above knee
prosthesis users are reported to fall more frequently. Recognising this, engineers designed …

Symmetry function in gait pattern analysis in patients after unilateral transfemoral amputation using a mechanical or microprocessor prosthetic knee
Abstract Background Above-knee amputations (AKAs) contribute to gait asymmetry. The
level of asymmetry is affected by the type of knee prosthetic module. There is limited …
