Temporal-spatial gait parameters during a 180⁰ turn in people with lower limb amputation

This study examined how people with unilateral lower limb amputation (LLA) perform a 180⁰ turn both toward and away from their prosthetic side. Results demonstrated that people with LLA perform turns differently than people without amputation, and that individuals with LLA use differing strategies to turn depending on their anatomical level of amputation and the direction of the turn.
