Özet

Purpose Pelvic asymmetry in the sagittal and horizontal planes among prosthesis users is related to the strength of the abdominal and back muscles. Considering that lumbosacral pathologies and pain in long-term transfemoral prosthesis users can cause asymmetric pelvic motion, it is necessary to investigate pelvic asymmetry caused by prosthetic components. The aim was to compare the gait symmetry of the pelvis of active transfemoral amputees using different types of prosthetic knee joints (Non-microprocessor-controlled prostheses (NMCPs) and microprocessor-controlled prostheses (MCP) knees).
