A Component-Based Coordinate System for Static and Dynamic Evaluation of Standard Transtibial Prosthesis Alignment

Conclusions The potential benefit of this standardized method is improved understanding of the relationship between objective measures of prosthesis alignment and various measures of patient outcomes and success such as pain, discomfort, and daily steps walked. A standardized means of calculating and expressing prosthesis alignment will also benefit the design and development of future alignment tool technology.
