Relationship of stump length with muscle strength, proprioception, and balance in patients with traumatic unilateral transfemoral amputation
A relationship was found between stump length and proprioception, and balance and hip flexor muscle strength in patients with traumatic unilateral transfemoral amputation. In elective lower limb amputations, the level of amputation should be determined at the most functional level with the longest possible stump.
