The effects of domestic mechanical knee joints on pelvic motion in transfemoral amputees.

Conclusion: The investigated MCP benefitted the patients considerably. The NMCP did not provide as much walking as the MCP but produced less APT. Implications for Rehabilitation The MCP may not provide symmetrical pelvic motion during all phases of the gait cycle. In transfemoral amputees using MCP, focusing on pelvis in walking training will contribute to pre-prosthetic and post-prosthetics rehabilitation. The NMCP knee joint may be closer in terms of APT.
