Clinical trials: Traumatic Amputations
Traumatic Amputation of Lower Extremity
Effects of Wearing a Powered Ankle-Foot Prosthesis on Amputee Walking
Amputees wearing a conventional prosthesis require 20-30% more metabolic energy to walk at the same speeds as non-amputees and this discrepancy is more apparent at faster walking speeds.
