Relationship between step length and step rate during walking in unilateral transfemoral amputees

The step length-step rate relationship in unilateral transfemoral amputee was investigated using linear regression analysis. The coefficient of determination of unaffected limb was significantly lower than able-bodied participant’s limb. Current results suggest that unilateral transfemoral amputees modulate walking speeds by various combinations of step length-step rate than able-bodied participants.
