P 014 - The influence of anterior-posterior prosthetic alignment on: Gait profile score, movement analysis profile, pain and comfort on transtibial amputees

The rehabilitation process for lower limb amputees must be carefully conducted in order to restore maximum functionality and provide a symmetrical, efficient and safe gait pattern [1]. The Gait Profile Score (GPS) is a gait summary measure that reduces kinematic gait data into a single number. The Movement Analysis Profile (MAP) is the decomposition of the GPS, showing individual variable contribution to GPS score [1]. The GPS and MAP have been proposed to detect gait asymmetries in unilateral lower amputees [2].
