The research question

How effectively is the person adapting to the prosthesis during gait, balance and functional tasks?

A lower-limb amputation and prosthetic rehabilitation pathway focused on gait symmetry, balance, compensations, residual muscle activation and adaptation across functional tasks.

ParticipantsPeople with lower-limb amputation in pre-prosthetic or prosthetic rehabilitation.
Minimum sampleIndividual clinical assessment: N = 1. Research cohorts: sample size defined by the study design.
DurationAssessment plus repeated prosthetic-rehabilitation sessions.
