An instrumented walkway recorded spatiotemporal gait parameters during the TUG that were used to analyze the turning element. On level ground a multi-axial ankle is comparable to a solid ankle prosthesis, however, when turning in a multi-axial ankle differences are shown in participants depending on prosthetic position during the turn.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to recall transfemoral amputee gait when turning using an ankle with coronal motion.
Upon completion, participant will be able to recall transfemoral amputee gait when turning using an ankle without coronal motion.
Upon completion, participant will be able to reflect upon transfemoral amputee gait when turning with the prosthesis on the outside of the turn.
Upon completion, participant will be able to reflect upon transfemoral amputee gait when turning with the prosthesis on the inside of the turn.
