    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Prosthetics and Orthotics

    Background:

    • Understanding foot loading in amputee stance is crucial for effective prosthesis design and alignment.
    • Existing data on amputee biomechanics during stance is limited, necessitating further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To collect normative data on foot loading parameters in amputee gait.
    • To establish the utility of the Double Video Forceplate (DVF) for static alignment of lower-limb prostheses.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted measuring percentage body weight and center of pressure under each foot.
    • Data was acquired using a Double Video Forceplate (DVF) in a clinical setting.
    • Patient data was collected from individuals attending the Roehampton Walking Training School and the Bioengineering Centre.

    Main Results:

    • Scattergrams and averaged results provide normative data for foot loading during amputee stance.
    • The collected data can assist clinicians in interpreting DVF displays.
    • The study presents findings from patients with experimental below-knee prostheses.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed Double Video Forceplate (DVF) is a valuable tool for assessing foot loading in amputees.
    • Normative data generated from this survey will aid in the static alignment of lower-limb prostheses.
    • Further research utilizing the DVF can enhance prosthetic fitting and patient outcomes.
