Measure
Prosthetic Knee Randomized
Each participant performed study activities while wearing a prosthetic knee for one week, followed by a different knee for the second week, and finally a third knee for the third week. The participants in this study have a unilateral transfemoral amputation (i.e. one of their legs is amputated above the knee) and each participant uses a prosthesis to walk. Each participant wore all three knees and were randomized as to which knee they wore on which week. The three knees worn were the Ottobock C-Leg 4.0, Ossur Rheo, and Ossur Power Knee.

Timeframe: 1 month

Population: 1 participant did not complete any of the conditions due to self withdrawal after consenting. Each participant wore all three knees during this trial.

Stance time asymmetry index measures the percent difference in stance time between the prosthetic and sound side limbs. A value equal to zero is indicative of perfect symmetry. Negative values of ST asymmetry index are indicative of increased time spent on the sound side and positive values are indicative of increased time on the prosthetic side.
