Walking Strategies in Usual Locomotion of Lower Limb Amputees

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Amputation is a life-altering event with an immediate and obvious effect on daily life activities and quality of life. Asymmetrical movements of the lower limbs and compensatory strategies during walking are associated with an elevated risk for developing deleterious secondary health conditions. It is well established that therapeutic gait training methods are effective in reducing spatiotemporal gait deviations and improving functional mobility. However, the littérature does not clearly indicate the best time to perform a gait training or which gait parameters predict it.

The main aim of this study is to determinate the walking strategies of lower limb amputees in several locomotion tasks on daily life. Then, the investigators study the evolution of these walking strategies after a gait training and over time.
