Abstract
s / Gait & Posture 39S (2014) S1–S141 S103 the lack of prosthetic knee flexion in swing and the compensatory vaulting on the contralateral side to gain toe clearance. Discussion and conclusions: The general clinical impression was confirmed that subjects with a higher amputation-level show the largest deviations from physiological gait on both sides. For interpretation of the ND it has to be taken into account, that deviations both, in amplitude and time affect this measure. In this study no distinction was made between walking experience or use of ambulation aids. For future clinical assessment each reference group of amputation level will be separated into “good-” and “poor”-status. Then individual amputees can be compared to the “good”-reference group to identify realistic expectations and potential for improvement for the individual user.
