OBJECTIVE:: The purpose of this systematic review was to identify which biomechanical and
physiological parameters are the most relevant, commonly used, able to discriminate and/or …

New Findings What is the topic of this review? This narrative review explores past and
recent findings on the mechanical determinants of energy cost during human locomotion …

Conventional leg prostheses do not convey sensory information about motion or interaction
with the ground to above-knee amputees, thereby reducing confidence and walking speed …

In this work, the effect of walking speed on the energy expenditure in traumatic lower-limb
amputees was studied. The oxygen consumption was measured in 10 transfemoral …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the increased energy cost of amputee
gait could be accounted for by an increase in the mechanical work dissipated during the …

Prinsen EC, Nederhand MJ, Rietman JS. Adaptation strategies of the lower extremities of
patients with a transtibial or transfemoral amputation during level walking: a systematic …

Objective To record the temporal spatial parameters and metabolic energy expenditure
during walking of individuals with amputation, walking with advanced prostheses, and after …

The muscles surrounding the ankle, knee and hip joints provide 42, 16 and 42%,
respectively, of the total leg positive power required to walk on level ground at various …

Background: The relationship between gait speed and prosthetic potential (K-level
classifications) and function has not been explored among people transitioning from hospital …

Objective. Lower-limb amputees suffer from a variety of health problems, including higher
metabolic consumption and low mobility. These conditions are linked to the lack of a natural …
