Summary

This study is investigating the influence of several simulated real life conditions on the symmetry of gait with trans-tibial prostheses

Hypotheses: It is hypothesized that the observable differences in gait pattern between amputees can be detected by a combination of forces and moments that are measured internally in the prosthesis, and electromyography data. It is further hypothesized that changing conditions such as uneven walking surface, prosthetic misalignment or user fatigue are characterized by typical values in the measured data or combinations thereof.
