J MED RES SCI , 2012, vol. 17, n° 3, p. 258-263 Doc n°: 168917 Localisation : en ligne Descripteurs : EB3 - AMPUTATION DU MEMBRE INFERIEUR, DF241 - MARCHE DE L'AMPUTE - ETUDES - REEDUCATION Url : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3527044/ The performance of the subjects with above-knee amputation is noticeably poorer than normal subjects. Various types of components have been designed to compensate their performance. Among various prosthetic components, the knee joint has great influence on the function. Two types of knee joints (3R15, 3R20) have been used broadly for above-knee prostheses. However, there is not enough research to highlight the influence of these joints on the gait performance of the subjects. Therefore, an aim of this research was to investigate the performance of the above-knee amputees while walking with 3R15 and 3R20 knee joints. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI |
