Lower-extremity inter-joint coordination variability in active individuals with transtibial amputation and healthy males during gait.

This study was aimed to compare the variability of inter-joint coordination in the lower-extremities during gait between active individuals with transtibial amputation (TTAs) and healthy individuals (HIs). Fifteen active male TTAs (age: 40.6 ± 16.

Lower limb joint angles and their variability during uphill walking.

Background: Adaptation of the walking pattern to uphill walking demands immediate coordination between the lower limb segments. Nonetheless, knowledge about individual joints' responses and variability in response to the new slope angles are missing.

Aims: This study investigated the impacts of uphill walking on the ankle, the knee and the hip joints angles and their variability.
