Relatively little attention has been given to the use of well-established motor
learning strategies to enable individuals with lower limb loss to effectively and
safely learn to walk with their prostheses in the home and community.
Traditionally, such outcomes have been pursued by focusing on the design and
function of a patient's prosthesis, rather than on how he or she should learn to
use it. The use of motor learning strategies may enhance physical rehabilitation
outcomes among individuals with lower limb loss. This review explores these motor
learning strategies and ways in which they can be applied to the physical
rehabilitation of individuals with lower limb loss and highlights some of the
challenges to their implementation, as well as unanswered research questions.
