Abstract
This investigation identifies how differing trunk movement compensations, identified using the separation of angular momentum, require higher kinetic effort during stepping tasks in patients with transtibial amputation compared to healthy individuals. Compensations that produce identified increased and asymmetric trunk segmental moments, may increase the risk of the development of low back pain in patients with amputation.
