The Effect of Alignment Changes on Unilateral Transtibial Amputee's Gait: A Systematic Review.

Prosthetic alignment, positioning of a prosthetic foot relative to a socket, is an iterative process in which an amputee's gait is optimized through repetitive optical gait observation and induction of alignment adjustments when deviations are detected in spatiotemporal and kinematic gait param...
