Movement asymmetry during low and high demand mobility tasks after Dysvascular Transtibial amputation

Movement pattern asymmetry is increased during step ascent compared to overground walking for adults with transtibial amputation. While the restoration of overground walking is the focus of post-amputation rehabilitation and prosthetic design, higher demand tasks should also be considered to maximize mobility for adults with transtibial amputation.
