Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - people with prosthesis after transfemoral amputation of knee exarticulation - between 18-65 years of age - able to walk without aids for at least four times six minutes

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - comorbities that effect walking ability - current stump problems or problems with prosthtic fitting - cognitive dysfunctions that effect execution of cognitive dual task

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Based on the 3D-acceleration pattern of the pelvis and the step times derived from this signal, variability and stability will be calculated using different (non-linear) techniques. Primary outcome measures will be: standard deviation, Hurst exponent and Lyapunov exponent.	—
