Toward a better treatment to optimize biomechanical function in individuals with a foot amputation

This project aims to compare the biomechanics of the lower limbs in individuals with different types of foot amputation (i.e., transmetatarsal, metatarsophalangeal and toe) during locomotion (e.g., walking, stair ambulation). To achieve these objectives, individuals with and without a foot amputation will undertake a biomechanical evaluation (joint movements/forces and muscle activity) during the aforementioned tasks.
