“…After title, abstract, and full-text screening, 21 articles were included for the final review [6][7]9,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. Five additional articles were included by searching the references of included articles (n = 3) [8,18,46] and from our recent electronic search in February 2014 (n = 2) [47][48]. No additional articles satisfying the inclusion criteria were retrieved from the electronic alerts.…”

“…No additional articles satisfying the inclusion criteria were retrieved from the electronic alerts. Of the final 26 articles, 9 investigated kinematics in persons with TFA [8][9]18,[29][30]35,[38][39][40] and 12 in persons with TTA [6,28,[31][32][33][34]36,[41][42][45][46][47]; 5 investigated both persons with TFA and TTA [7,37,[43][44]48].…”

“…Most of the included studies (n = 23) adopted a crosssectional study design, with the exception of three studies that had a case series design [7,9,30]. Most of the included studies (n = 17) recruited a minimum of 10 participants for the study [8][9]18,28,[31][32][33][34][35]37,[40][41][42][43][46][47][48]. The majority (82%) of amputations were due to either trauma or tumors.…”

“…Overall, 16 studies investigated kinematics during walking [6][7][8][9]18,29,[32][33]35,[38][39][40][41]45,[47][48] and 4 studies investigated kinematics of stair climbing [28,34,37,42], with few studies investigating the kinematics of other functional tasks, i.e., obstacle crossing (n = 2) [43,46], ramp walking (n = 2) [31,44], and running (n = 2) [30,36]. During walking, overall 11 studies investigated pelvis (n = 7) [7][8]29,35,[38][39][40], lumbar spine (n = 1) [18], and trunk (n = 4) [8][9]40,48] kinematics in participants with TFA.…”

Spinal, pelvic, and hip movement asymmetries in people with lower-limb amputation: Systematic review

et al. 2015

Abstract-Following amputation, people with transfemoral amputation (TFA) and transtibial amputation (TTA) adapt with asymmetrical movements in the spinal and lower-limb joints. The aim of this review is to describe the trunk, lumbopelvic, and hip joint movement asymmetries of the amputated limb of people with TFA and TTA during functional tasks as compared with the intact leg and/or referent leg of nondisabled controls. Electronic databases were searched from inception to February 2014. Studies with kinematic data comparing (1) amputated and intact leg and (2) amputated and referent leg of nondisabled controls were included (26 articles). Considerable heterogeneity in the studies precluded data pooling. During stance phase of walking in participants with TFA, there is moderate evidence for increased trunk lateral flexion toward the amputated limb as compared with the intact leg and increased anterior pelvic tilt as compared with nondisabled controls. None of the studies investigated spinal kinematics during other functional tasks such as running, ramp walking, stair climbing, or obstacle crossing in participants with TFA or TTA. Overall, persons with TFA adapt with trunk and pelvic movement asymmetries at the amputated limb to facilitate weight transfer during walking. Among participants with TTA, there is limited evidence of spinal and pelvic asymmetries during walking.
