These parameters often depend on measurements based on anatomical aspects that vary across different types of lower limb amputations.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This study aimed to investigate body weight distribution, and gait symmetry, quality, and propulsion, as well as pelvic kinematics in the amputee population.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n The EcoWalk baropodometry platform was used to measure plantar pressure, and the G-Walk inertial sensor was used for accelerometry measurements in 29 unilateral lower limb amputees.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Values were estimated for each variable under analysis, and the findings were categorized by the level of amputation. All variables exhibited normal distribution within each group under analysis , except for the symmetry index in above-knee (AK) amputees (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.03). Regarding the body weight distribution (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.11), velocity (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2265.99), propulsion (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.38), and quality index (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.10) of the amputated limb; no significant differences were observed between the AK and below-knee (BK) amputees. The most significant deviation was noted in pelvic obliquity, which was greater in AK amputees compared to BK amputees.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The values reported for the variables under analysis may enable the establishment of more precise reference levels for the amputee population, thereby contributing to a more accurate diagnostic process and aiding prosthetic fitting.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/67022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,29]],"date-time":"2025-07-29T19:58:38Z","timestamp":1753819118000},"page":"e67022-e67022","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Biomechanical and Kinematic Gait Analysis in Lower Limb Amputees: Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6915-7784","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natali","family":"Olaya Mira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5799-8682","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luz Marina","family":"G\u00f3mez Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3910-2154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carolina","family":"Viloria Barrag\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1239-6059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuela","family":"Monsalve Montes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0797-9752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel Cristina","family":"Soto Cardona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.6061\/clinics\/2021\/e2486","article-title":"Bodyweight distribution between limbs, muscle strength, and proprioception in traumatic transtibial amputees: a cross-sectional study","volume":"76","author":"Fontes","journal-title":"Clinics (Sao Paulo)"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2019.11.011","article-title":"Gait analysis - Available platforms for outcome assessment","volume":"51 Suppl 2","author":"Kl\u00f6pfer-Kr\u00e4mer","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.humov.2019.03.008","article-title":"Common and specific gait patterns in people with varying anatomical levels of lower limb amputation and different prosthetic components","volume":"66","author":"Varrecchia","journal-title":"Hum Mov Sci"},{"issue":"Suppl 1","key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12984-018-0403-x","article-title":"Reference values for gait temporal and loading symmetry of lower-limb amputees can help in refocusing rehabilitation targets","volume":"15","author":"Cutti","journal-title":"J Neuroeng Rehabil"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.matpr.2020.10.541","article-title":"A systematic review on gait analysis methods and assistive devices in lower limb prosthetics","volume":"44","author":"Rathor","journal-title":"Mater Today"},{"issue":"4","key":"R6","first-page":"1215","volume":"35","author":"Frlan-Vrgoc","journal-title":"Coll Antropol"},{"issue":"2","key":"R7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"171","DOI":"10.1177\/0309364616670397","article-title":"Predicting mobility outcome in lower limb amputees with motor ability tests used in early rehabilitation","volume":"41","author":"Spaan","journal-title":"Prosthet Orthot Int"},{"key":"R8","volume":"90","author":"Bernardini","journal-title":"Ann Ital Chir"},{"key":"R9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gaitpost.2021.07.021","article-title":"Symmetry function as a new tool for evaluating the symmetry of gait in transfemoral amputees","volume":"90","author":"Winiarski","journal-title":"Gait Posture"},{"key":"R10","unstructured":"WALK evaluaci\u00f3n de la coordinaci\u00f3n muscular durante la marcha.
