Abstract Summary
Persons with transtibial amputation often exhibit problematic trunk motion during walking, yet optimal clinical interventions have yet to be established. This study applied an induced acceleration simulation analysis to identify differences in the whole-body strategy persons with versus without TTA use to modulate angular trunk motion. Joint moment deficits at the affected limb ankle and knee were found to induce altered frontal and sagittal trunk segment accelerations. These data can inform development of new clinical techniques to correct problematic trunk motion.
