The effect of transverse rotation and longitudinal translation between prosthetic components during the gait of unilateral trans-tibial amputees (2004)
Thesis
Twiste, M. The effect of transverse rotation and longitudinal translation between prosthetic components during the gait of unilateral trans-tibial amputees. (Thesis). University of Salford

During stance phase of amputee gait, considerable forces are transmitted across the residual limb socket interface. These loads and associated gait patterns can be altered by introducing compliant elements into the prosthesis. However, previous studi...
