Transtibial limb loss does not increase metabolic cost in three-dimensional computer simulations of human walking [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Loss of a lower limb below the knee, i.e., transtibial limb loss, and subsequently walking with a prosthesis, is generally thought to increase the metabolic cost of walking vs. able-bodied controls.

Retrospective characterization of a rat model of volumetric muscle loss
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022 Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is a pervasive injury within contemporary combat and a primary driver of disability among injured Service members. As such, VML has been a topic of investigation over the past decade as the field has sought to understand the ...
