DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2017.07.014
Abstract: BACKGROUND Patients with transtibial amputation adopt trunk movement compensations that alter effort and increase the risk of developing low back pain. However, the effort required to achieve high-demand tasks, such as step ascent and descent,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2017.12.030
Abstract: People with a transtibial amputation have numerous secondary health conditions, including an increased prevalence of low back pain. This increased prevalence may be partially explained by altered low back biomechanics during movement. The purpose of… read more here.
