Development of inertial sensor-based measures for lower limb segmental analysis during gait in people with unilateral amputation

This study utilized inertial sensors placed on bilateral thighs and bilateral shanks to examine the movement of the four individual segments of the lower limbs during gait in people with unilateral lower limb amputation (LLA). Differences were exhibited between groups based on having amputation at the transtibial (TT) or transfemoral (TF) level, and within groups, where prosthetic side thigh and shank performed differently compared to intact limb thigh and shank.
