Impact of amputation level on gait disorders in transfemoral and transtibial amputees
The level of amputation significantly impacts gait asymmetry and cautious gait parameters. Transfemoral amputees exhibit more pronounced cautious gait characteristics, likely due to the need for greater stabilization. These findings underscore the importance of personalized rehabilitation to address specific compensations and gait abnormalities based on amputation level.
