Abstract

This case series study was designed to provide an overview of the efficacy of an active pelvis orthosis (APO) against the fall risk after multi-directional slippages in transfemoral amputees (TFA). To achieve this goal, we investigated the dynamic stability after antero-posterior (AP) and diagonal (D) slippages, as assessed by the Margin of Stability (MoS) in both the frontal and the sagittal planes.
