Walking speed related joint kinetic alterations in trans-tibial amputees: impact of hydraulic 'ankle’ damping

BACKGROUND: Passive prosthetic devices are set up to provide optimal function at customary walking speed and thus may function less effectively at other speeds. This partly explains why joint kinetic adaptations become more apparent in lower-limb amputees when walking at speeds other than customary....
