Assessment of aerobic capacity and walking economy of transfemoral amputees
(Prosthetics and orthotics international;, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-06-24)Background: Studies of the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) of transfemoral amputees have mostly used protocols that activate a relatively small muscle mass. Consequently, transfemoral amputee VO2max may be systematically ... -
Energy expenditure of transfemoral amputees during floor and treadmill walking with different speeds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: Walking energy expenditure, calculated as the percent utilization of the maximal aerobic capacity, is little investigated in transfemoral amputees. Objectives: Compare the energy expenditure of healthy ... -
Energy expenditure of transfemoral amputees walking on a horizontal and tilted treadmill simulating different outdoor walking conditions
(Prosthetics and Orthotics International;34 (2), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-06)Background and aim: Transfemoral amputees often report that walking on tilted pavements or in terrain with the prosthesis on the highest side is quite strenuous. This study investigates the energy expenditure of transfemoral ...
