Applying mediolateral external perturbations to individuals with transfemoral amputations (TFA) and those without showed that both groups had similar stepping thresholds. However, unlike healthy individuals, individuals with TFA employed direction-dependent stepping strategies.
Learning Objectives:
Define reactive lateral responses in individuals with and without transfemoral amputation
List the methods to assess lateral reactive stepping
