The effects of prosthetic alignment on gait biomechanics
In clinical settings, trans-tibial prosthetic alignment is a primarily subjective procedurethat is based on: the clinical experience and judgment of prosthetists; and amputeefeedback regarding comfort, stability and performance, which can be unreliable. Thishighlights the need for a more objective …

The effects of prosthetic alignment on the stability of the knee in above knee amputees
The components and alignment of a prosthesis have a large influence on the gait of an above knee amputee. The present criteria for determining the optimum alignment are mainly subjective, based on visual observation of the amputee's gait and by considering his/her comments. These comments however, …

Effect of prosthetic alignment on muscle activity for people with a unilateral transtibial amputation during sit-to-stand, The
… For people with a lower limb amputation, prosthetic alignment is an important component that may contribute to altered motion strategies and can be easily adjusted in a clinical setting. However, the effect of altered prosthetic alignment on muscle activity is not well understood, …

Advanced tuning of a trans-tibial prosthesis using motion capture and visualisation
A transtibial prosthetic alignment is a three dimensions interrelationship between a socket and a prosthetic foot. The prosthetic alignment aims to achieve the most suitable limb position for desired function and comfort. The alignment is tuned through three alignment stages; bench, static and …
