IMPACT OF AMPUTATION LEVEL AND VAULTING ON LOADING PARAMETERS DURING LEVEL GROUND WALKING
In summary, a higher lower limb amputation level can increase loading on the contralateral limb and contribute to a higher incidence of vaulting during gait. The effect of vaulting as a compensation pattern leads to an additional increase in contralateral limb loading.
