Objectives: To determine the effect of 3 prosthetic mass conditions on selected physiologic responses during multiple speed treadmill walking in persons with transtibial amputation.Design: A repeated-measures design for 3 prosthetic mass conditions and 5 walking speeds.Setting: University research laboratory.Participants: Eight ambulatory men with unilateral traumatic transtibial amputation.Interventions: The 3 prosthetic mass conditions were 60%, 80%, and 100% of the estimated intact limb below-knee mass. The multiple-speed treadmill walking test (4min at each speed: 54, 67, 80, 94, 107 m/min) was performed on an instrumented treadmill according to randomly assigned mass conditions.Main Outcome Measures: Oxygen consumption, gait efficiency, relative exercise intensity (percentage of age-predicted maximal heart rate), and stride frequency.Results: Prosthetic mass did not significantly alter oxygen consumption or gait efficiency (P>.05). From the 60% to the 100% prosthetic mass conditions, relative exercise intensity significantly increased and stride frequency significantly decreased (P
