Robot-mediated overground gait training for transfemoral amputees with a powered bilateral hip orthosis: a pilot study

Robot-mediated overground gait training for transfemoral amputees with a powered bilateral hip orthosis: a pilot study

Abstract Background Transfemoral amputation is a serious intervention that alters the locomotion pattern, leading to secondary disorders and reduced quality of life. The outcomes of current gait rehabilitation for TFAs seem to be highly dependent on factors such as the duration and intensity of the...
