Differences in the Spatiotemporal Parameters of Transtibial and Transfemoral Amputee Gait

In Brief Lower limb amputees have less efficient gait patterns that may in part be due to spatiotemporal asymmetries. Transfemoral (TF) amputees are believed to have greater gait asymmetries than transtibial (TT) amputees, but this has not been clearly established. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of amputation level on step length, width, and time for prosthetic and sound legs. Other spatiotemporal gait parameters of this...
