Ground reaction forces during double limb stances while walking in individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
The asymmetrical gait of individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation has been well documented. However, there is not a wealth of investigation into asymmetries during the double limb stance depending on whether the intact or prosthetic limb is ...

Effects of step frequency during running on the magnitude and symmetry of ground reaction forces in individuals with a transfemoral amputation [PDF]

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022
Background Individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation are prone to developing health conditions such as knee osteoarthritis, caused by additional loading on the intact limb.

Osseointegration Following Transfemoral Amputation After Infected Total Knee Replacement: A Case Series of 10 Patients With a Mean Follow-up of 5 Years [PDF]

Arthroplasty Today, 2022
Background: Management of total knee replacement (TKR) infection may sometimes prompt knee fusion (KF) or transfemoral amputation (TFA), both associated with low mobility and quality of life (QOL).

THE HYBRID SUBISCHIAL SOCKET FOR PERSONS WITH TRANSFEMORAL AMPUTATION: GAIT PARAMETERS AND CLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF A CASE SERIES [PDF]

Canadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2021
BACKGROUND: The subischial socket interface design is a promising new shape of socket for persons with transfemoral amputation. Typically, the proximal trim line is located distal to the ischial tuberosity, improving comfort in prosthetic users without ...

Instrumented Four Square Step Test in Adults with Transfemoral Amputation: Test-Retest Reliability and Discriminant Validity between Two Types of Microprocessor Knees

Sensors, 2020
Technology-based outcomes have recently been proposed to complement the standard Four Square Step Test (FSST) by providing a decomposition of the sequences and information about the stepping pattern.

Pneumatic tourniquet versus no tourniquet in transfemoral amputation – a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background Lower extremity amputation patients represent a frail group with extensive comorbidity. Transfemoral amputation is a high-risk procedure with 37–50% risk of mortality in the first year.

Muscle recruitment during gait in individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation due to trauma compared to able-bodied controls [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Individuals with transfemoral lower limb amputations walk with adapted gait. These kinetic and kinematic compensatory strategies will manifest as differences in muscle recruitment patterns.
