This poster presents a structured stair-training progression for individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation using either standard or smart microprocessor knees (MPKs). The study outlines an eight-session strengthening and functional training protocol and evaluates its impact on stair ascent and descent performance using the Stair Assessment Index. Findings demonstrate significant improvements in reciprocal stair navigation across both MPK groups, highlighting the importance of targeted rehabilitation to optimize functional mobility in transfemoral amputees.
