A comparison of compensatory movements between body-powered and myoelectric prosthesis users during activities of daily living

•Compensatory motions were compared for body-powered and myoelectric prosthesis users.•Differences in compensatory motions may occur due to prosthesis actuation method.•Compensatory motions were defined by altered range of motion of the intact joints.•Prosthesis type did not have a consistent effect on compensatory movements.
