Sprint Start Kinetics of Amputee and Non-Amputee Sprinters
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the forces applied to the starting blocks and the start performances (SPs) of amputee sprinters (ASs) and non-amputee sprinters (NASs). SPs of 154 male and female NASs (100-m personal records [PRs], 9.58-14.00 s) and 7 male ASs (3 unilateral above knee, 3 unilateral below knee, 1 ...

One-hundred and ninety-two children have been studied in a Juvenile Training Program. Of 128 surgical amputations, revision for extensive or poorly placed scar was not necessary. There have been no tenotomies or re-amputations to further mobilize stumps. Bone overgrowth requiring surgical corrections has been encountered in eight cases to date.
