Long jumpers with and without a transtibial amputation have different three-dimensional centre of mass and joint take-off step kinematics

Long jumpers with and without a transtibial amputation have different three-dimensional centre of mass and joint take-off step kinematics

Long jumpers with below the knee amputation (BKA) have achieved remarkable performances, yet the underlying biomechanics resulting in these jump distances are unknown. We measured three-dimensional motion and used multi-segment modelling to quantify and compare the centre of mass (COM) and joint kin...
