Using instrumented running specific prostheses during sprinting and long jumping for performance assessment of elite paralympic athletes.

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
Running Specific Prostheses (RSP) used by amputee athletes for sprinting and long jumping have a large effect on athlete performance and health. This study reports about the development and test of a set of instrumented RSP (iRSP) that could be used on the field for data collection of block start, sprinting, curve running and for the whole run-in and take-off of long jump. A portable data logger can collect multiple steps loading from the iRSP.
