Anthropometric Prediction of DXA-Measured Percentage of Fat Mass in Athletes With Unilateral Lower Limb Amputation

Anthropometric Prediction of DXA-Measured Percentage of Fat Mass in Athletes With Unilateral Lower Limb Amputation

To date there is no anthropometric equation specific to athletes with unilateral lower limb amputation to estimate the percentage of fat mass (%FM). This study investigated the accuracy of a set of anthropometric equations validated on able-bodied populations to predict the %FM assessed by-means of...
