Understanding responses to gait instability from plantar pressure measurement and the relationship to balance and mobility in lower-limb amputees

摘要

Background: Measuring responses to a more unstable walking environment at the point-of-care may reveal clinically relevant strategies, particularly for rehabilitation. This study determined if temporal measures, center of pressure-derived measures, and force impulse measures can quantify responses to surface instability and correlate with clinical balance and mobility measures.
