Summary

Long-term above-knee prosthesis users are at an increased risk of developing secondary musculoskeletal conditions compared to the general able-bodied population. One secondary physical concern is low back pain (LBP), for which the development is not entirely understood, but in above-knee prosthesis users it is believed to relate to asymmetries and compensations that are typically demonstrated and required to stand and walk. Understanding spinal motion and compensations will enhance our knowledge of the factors contributing to LBP, and possibly lead to the development of new prosthetic and therapeutic interventions to prevent or alleviate LBP, thereby improving mobility and quality of life for prosthesis users.
