Design and Evaluation of a Quasi-Passive Variable Stiffness Ankle-Foot Prosthesis to Improve Biomechanics Across Walking Speeds
… related dysvascular conditions [1]. Lower limb amputation often leads to secondary conditions such as knee pain, knee osteoarthritis, osteopenia, back pain, postural changes, and general deconditioning [2]. For people with transtibial (below-knee) amputation, prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in …

Lower Limb Amputation in Patients with Vascular Disease
… can be expect every year. Less than 5% of all amputations will be related to causes other than vascular disease. Lower limb amputation (LEA) in patients with vascular disease may not only be highly disabling but also costly in hospital management. The incidence differs between countries due to …

Gait asymmetry and the risk of knee osteoarthritis in post-stroke individuals
… spatiotemporal asymmetry in other conditions (unilateral amputation and unilateral OA) is linked to the risk of developing knee OA. In these populations, some of the gait deviations seen in stroke (e.g. temporal gait asymmetry and excessive muscle activity), in the context of biological …

Effect of Unilateral Lower-Limb Amputation on Intact Limb Biomechanics: A Systematic Review
<p>The United States will perform 30,000-40,000 amputations this year (Ertl et al., 2019). As a common medical intervention, there is extensive research regarding rehabilitation strategies and post-operative care. Many studies have explored the effects of the affected limb and prosthetic …
