Kinematic gait adaptations in unilateral transtibial amputees during rehabilitation (2009)
Journal Article
Barnett, C., Vanicek, N., Polman, R., Hancock, A., Brown, B., Smith, L., & Chetter, I. (2009). Kinematic gait adaptations in unilateral transtibial amputees during rehabilitation. Prosthetics and orthotics international, 33(2), 135-147. https://doi.org/10.1080/03093640902751762

Introduction: Physiotherapists routinely prescribe the use of two different early walking aids (EWAs) to individuals who have recently undergone unilateral transtibial amputation. No research to date has investigated the kinematic gait patterns of tr... Read More about Kinematic gait adaptations in unilateral transtibial amputees during rehabilitation.

Biomechanical and psychological factors that distinguish fallers from non-fallers : a comparative study of transtibial amputees and able bodied individuals (2009)
Thesis
Vanicek, N. (2009). Biomechanical and psychological factors that distinguish fallers from non-fallers : a comparative study of transtibial amputees and able bodied individuals. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209371

Transtibial amputees are at a higher risk of falling than age-matched able-bodied individuals. In order to make recommendations for falls prevention and treatment programmes, it is important to have a sound understanding of the underlying biomechanic...
