Trunk–pelvis motion, joint loads, and muscle forces during walking with a transtibial amputation

Highlights • Trunk–pelvis biomechanics during walking were compared between people with and without a transtibial amputation. • People with transtibial amputation had greater lateral bending during residual limb stance. • People with transtibial amputation had greater L4L5 compression loads during r...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Trunk–pelvis biomechanics during walking were compared between people with and without a transtibial amputation. • People with transtibial amputation had greater lateral bending during residual limb stance. • People with transtibial amputation had greater L4L5 compression loads during residual limb stance. • Numerous differences in trunk–pelvis muscle forces were found between groups. • Altered trunk–pelvis biomechanics may result in low back pain development over time.
