| Methods |
Quasi‐randomised controlled trial.
Within‐subject, cross‐over design. |
| Participants |
8 men with unilateral traumatic transtibial amputations, mean age 35 years (range 19‐49), amputation at least 2 years before the investigation, mean Day's Activity Score 24 (range 14‐39), fitted with PTB prostheses, good shaped stump.
Exclusion: skin problems, suffering from any concurrent illness.
Country: Spain |
| Interventions |
1. SACH‐foot
2. Single‐Axis
3. Greissinger
4. Dynamic
Participants walked at free cadence, fast, and slower (cadence from 60‐140 steps per minute), on a 12m walkway with 2 force plates, equipped with a system of polycentric electrogoniometry for the measurement of both limbs‐hip, knee and ankle angles on the sagittal plane. |
| Outcomes |
A total of 18 variables was selected:
7 were kinetic (vertical, horizontal and lateral force)
10 kinematic (ankle, knee and hip angles)
1 time‐related (Single‐Support Stance Time (SST)) |
| Notes |
Amputees had a two‐week adaptation period before a measurement. |
