The below-knee amputee has lost part of his locomotive system, not only the static supporting structure, but dynamic function of the foot-ankle complex as well. Lower-limb prostheses easily provide static structural supports, but not dy namic functions that correspond to muscle activi ties that have been lost. Consequently, good loco motion by the BK amputee requires adaptation in the joints of the remaining lower limb and, thus, compensation by the remaining musculature of the lower limbs. Five active male unilateral BK amputees were used in a study of BK amputee gait (1). The sub jects wore modular prostheses, with the supra condylar suspension variation of the PTB socket (2) and a SACH foot. Electrical switches were used on both shoes to measure foot position dur ing stance phase. On the amputated side, knee motion was measured by an electrogoniometer. Muscle activity was recorded by use of an electromyograph and surface electrodes. The muscles investigated were the gluteus maximus, the quadriceps groups, and the hamstring group on the affected side; the gluteus maximus and vastus lateralis on the unaffected side.
