Summary

This study looked at how people with leg amputations balance while walking. Researchers used special pressure-sensing platforms to measure the symmetry and steadiness of their steps. The goal was to better understand walking patterns after amputation, which could help improve rehabilitation. The study included 130 adults who had a leg amputated below or above the knee and were able to walk with or without aids.
