Summary

This observational study looked at 26 adults with a below-knee amputation and healthy volunteers to understand how amputation impacts core function and endurance. Participants performed tests measuring core strength, balance, joint position sense, and walking speed. The goal was to see if core weakness is linked to poorer balance and movement in amputees, which could guide future rehabilitation.
