Abstract
The study case describes the assymetry during prosthetic gait in a young healthy man with a rare developmental disorder of the tibia. The changes in different speeds of walking with ankle-foot prosthesis were identified and selected joint kinematic, spatial-temporal, and kinetic gait parameters were collected using 3D motion capture system and treadmill with force plate simultaneously.
Mean values, SD, and symmetry indexes were calculated in different walking speeds and descriptively analyzed. Results show developmental prosthetic gait specific pattern and gait assymetry in most of the measured gait parameters and compensatory mechanisms differ to the acquired prosthetic gait and depend on walking speed.
