Transtibial limb loss does not increase metabolic cost in three-dimensional computer simulations of human walking

Loss of a lower limb below the knee, i.e., transtibial limb loss, and subsequently walking with a prosthesis, is generally thought to increase the metabolic cost of walking vs. able-bodied controls. However, high-functioning individuals with limb loss such as military service members often walk with...
