Sagittal plane gait analysis was carried out for nine right-limb traumatic amputees. In all examined cases, the spatial and temporal parameters measured were significantly improved. When the symmetry indexes of the same parameters calculated with three different methods were considered, significant improvement was observed for the hip and ankle ranges of motion and the stance phase period. However, no significant differences were found for the symmetry indexes of the knee range of motion, cadence, and walking speed. In addition, for most spatial parameters, the statistical significance varied considerably among the three methods used for the analysis of symmetry. Langue : ANGLAIS |
