[AMP-L] Bone-anchored and Socket-suspended Prostheses Restore Gait Equally

[Wayne Renardson]

via The O&P Edge:

A study of the walking abilities of people fitted with transfemoral 
bone-anchored prostheses found that bone-anchored and 
socket-suspended prostheses restored equally well the gait parameters 
at a self-selected speed.  

The study included two control groups (eight able-bodied participants 
and nine participants fitted with transfemoral socket-suspended 
prostheses arm). The intervention group included nine participants 
fitted with transfemoral bone-anchored prostheses.
