Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: We studied 30 male subjects, 20 with lower limb amputations (10 transfemoral amputees and 10 transtibial amputees) and 10 non-amputee subjects (control group). For the sample, amputees should have been aided more than two years, to walk without gait aids, prostheses using lined with dynamic Sach ® foot and transfemoral, knee own mechanic. All subjects evaluated should not have hypertension, cardiovascular disease, or any pathology that could alter the quality of gait.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The outcome of this study is to evaluate the energy expenditure of amputees, blood pressure and heart rate have values ??higher than those found in non-amputees during walking. For this amputees (transtibial and transfemoral) were compared to non-amputees during running speed nice (VMA) and speeds above 20% and 20% below that. During the performance of protocols running all subjects were monitored for oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, heart rate and blood pressure | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoint is to evaluate the energy expenditure of amputees, blood pressure and heart rate are lower or similar to those found in non-amputees during marcha.Para that used the protocol running speed nice and amputees and individuals amputees were not evaluated in relation to blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen consumption. | — |
