Hypothesis
It is hypothesized that the loading of the unilateral transfemoral amputee intact knee is higher than healthy uninjured controls, placing amputees at higher risks of joint degeneration.
Summary
This study aims to investigate the unilateral transfemoral amputee intact knee joint loading profiles and their reason for amputation. It is hypothesized that the loading of the unilateral transfemoral amputee intact knee is higher than healthy uninjured controls, placing amputees at higher risks of joint degeneration. The reasons for amputation from the ADVANCE dataset are crucial for understanding the cohort’s demographic characteristics, which could significantly influence the biomechanical analysis.
