Background Previous studies of commercially-available trans-tibial prosthetic components have been unable to provide clear insight into the relationships between prosthetic mechanical properties and user performance (i.e., gait quality and energy ex...

Validation of the activPAL activity monitor in children with hemiplegic gait patterns resultant from cerebral palsy (2013)
Journal Article
McAloon, M., Hutchins, S., Twiste, M., Jones, R., & Forchtner, S. (2014). Validation of the activPAL activity monitor in children with hemiplegic gait patterns resultant from cerebral palsy. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 38(5), 393-399. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309364613506911

Background: Current investigation of treatment outcomes by clinicians is currently hampered by a lack of clinically viable tools. The use of activity monitors specifically validated for a population could help resolve this situation. Objectives: The...
