Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Decreased static stability in individuals with amputation and correlation with increasing age and shorter fitting, evaluated through analysis of the oscillation center of pressure by keeping the body upright posture for 30 seconds. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increased sway area of the body center of pressure in individuals with transtibial amputation with advancing age and shorter fitting compared to the fitting area oscillation of body center of pressure of individuals without amputation. | — |
