Biomechanical Assessment of Gait in Lower-Extremity-Amputees
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Alignment perturbations for Prosthesis User. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is investigating the influence of several simulated real life conditions on the symmetry of gait with trans-tibial prostheses Hypotheses: It is hypothesized that the observable differences in gait pattern between amputees can be detected by a combination of forces and moments that are measured internally in the prosthesis, and electromyography data. It is further hypothesized that changing conditions such as uneven walking surface, prosthetic misalignment or user fatigue are characterized by typical values in the measured data or combinations thereof.
