The effects of prosthetic alignment on gait biomechanics (2010)
Thesis
Malaheem, M. The effects of prosthetic alignment on gait biomechanics. (Dissertation). University of Salford

In clinical settings, trans-tibial prosthetic alignment is a primarily subjective procedure that is based on: the clinical experience and judgment of prosthetists; and amputee feedback regarding comfort, stability and performance, which can be unre...

The influence of the mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on amputee performance (2010)
Thesis
Major, M. The influence of the mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on amputee performance. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Achieving the required functionality of a trans-tibial prosthesis during the stance phase of gait (e.g., shock absorption, close to normal roll-over characteristics, and smooth transition into swing) depends on the "Amputee Independent Prosthesis P...
