Conditions

Beenamputatie Leg amputation Leg cut-off

Interventions

During the experiment, subjects stand or walk on a treadmill at a pace of 0.6 (m/s) (2.16 km/h), while the slope of the treadmill increases in steps of 3 degrees from 0 to a maximum of 15 degrees in

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Uni-lateral transtibial (n

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Use of a computer assisted foot; Stump problems; Cognitive or communicative disorders; Visual impairments. Any condition (other than leg amputation) that might interfere with gait (e.g. neurodegenerative disease, peripheral vascular disease) Any condition that renders unfit to be tested (e.g. severe cardiovascular conditions)

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Standing stability measures for each slope: - mean center of pressure (COP) velocity - COP anteroposterior sway - COP mediolateral sway Gait stability measures for each slope: - local divergence exponents - foot placement coordination - margins of stability	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Spatiotemporal gait parameters: step length, step width and step frequency. Hip, knee and ankle joint kinematics (movements) and kinetics (moments). Anthropometric data (height, weight, age, segmental circumferences).	—
