Amputee locomotion: Lower extremity loading using running-specific prostheses

Highlights • Vertical loading rates using running-specific prostheses were examined. • Eight amputee runners performed overground running at a range of running speeds. • Loading rates in intact limbs were greater than prosthetic limbs and control subjects. • Amputee runners may be exposed to a great...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Vertical loading rates using running-specific prostheses were examined. • Eight amputee runners performed overground running at a range of running speeds. • Loading rates in intact limbs were greater than prosthetic limbs and control subjects. • Amputee runners may be exposed to a greater risk of injury than able-bodied runners.
