Global Muscle Coactivation of the Sound Limb in Gait of People with Transfemoral and Transtibial Amputation

Global Muscle Coactivation of the Sound Limb in Gait of People with Transfemoral and Transtibial Amputation

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of the level of amputation and various prosthetic devices on the muscle activation of the sound limb in people with unilateral transfemoral and transtibial amputation. We calculated the global coactivation of 12 muscles using the time-varying multimusc...
