Abstract
Purpose: To assess inter limb symmetry while walking in unilateral transtibial amputees which use dynamic foot. Method: Gait velocity, cadence, step length, stance percentages and ambulation index results of amputees (n=20) were recorded. Comparison was made with control group. (n=21) Results: Gait velocity, cadence and ambulation index results were greater for control group. Cases had longer stance time on their intact limb than amputated side. Stance time difference between limbs were higher for amputee group than control group. Conclusion: Amputees had higher stance percentage on their intact limb than sound limb with regard to healthy people.
