Quantitative studies of lower limb devices. The variables involved are one-dimensional displacement (D), one-dimensional rotation (R), force (F), torque (T), and power (P). The analysis is defined through gait (G), movement tasks (MT), and sit-to-stand (StS). The planes of study are divided into sagittal (S), frontal (F), and transverse (T). The X stands for including this variable or plane in the related study.
