Balance control in lower extremity amputees during quiet standing: A systematic review

Highlights • We summarize the current findings of balance stability in lower extremity amputees. • We discuss the changes of balance-related variables during static standing. • Findings revealed that amputee have greater postural sway than healthy control. • The physiological factor and behaviour fa...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We summarize the current findings of balance stability in lower extremity amputees. • We discuss the changes of balance-related variables during static standing. • Findings revealed that amputee have greater postural sway than healthy control. • The physiological factor and behaviour factor might contribute in balance control. • We recommend detailed information for future designed protocol.
