Abstract:Introduction Lower extremity amputations (LEA) impact the quality of life and physical abilities and increase the risk of developing secondary health complications. Current literature predominantly focuses on major LEA, leaving a gap in understanding biomechanics related to balance and postural control in minor LEA. The shifts towards increased rates of minor LEA, due to improved quality of care and patient management, highlights the need for a focused exploration of postural control deficits in this populatio… Show more
