DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2020.109941
Abstract: Single-leg hopping is an atypical, yet convenient, method of ambulation for individuals who have sustained unilateral lower limb-loss. Hopping is generally discouraged by therapists but many patients report hopping, and the potential deleterious effects of… read more here.
