Relationship between Asymmetry of Gait and Muscle Torque in Patients after Unilateral Transfemoral Amputation
Many studies have shown that unilateral transfemoral amputation involves asymmetric gait. Transfemoral amputation leads to muscle atrophy in a tight stump resulting in asymmetry in muscle torque between the amputated and intact limb. This research is aimed at verifying if a relationship between torq...
