Successful prosthetic rehabilitation and gait analysis of individual with bilateral transtibial amputation A case study with comparison to able-bodied gait

摘要

Background:Intensive rehabilitation of individuals with bilateral lower limb loss poses a great challenge to both rehabilitation team and amputees themselves due to unavailability of a sound leg to provide stability in standing and gait. Although gait characteristics of individuals with unilateral transtibial amputations are well documented in the literature, very less is known about those with bilateral limb loss.
