Özet

The aim of this study is to determine gait patterns of the knee disarticulation (KD) and transfemoral (TF) amputee using microprocessor prostheses and c ompare to normal gait. Two amputees and eight healthy person (control group) participa ted in this study. Knee joint was a C-leg, while the foot was Axion foot in both prosthetic u sers. Three-dimensional gait analysis was performed via Vicon Nexsus motion analysis system. Results of studied, asymmetries that differences in results between prosthetic side and sound side higher in knee disarticulation patients.
