Center of pressure and total force analyses for amputees walking with a backpack load over four surfaces
Examined amputee gait with and without a backpack load, over multiple surfaces. COP and total force were similar when walking with and without a backpack load. Transtibial amputees had more deviations in COP on the intact limb. High functioning amputees are not limited by a backpack load on the tested tasks.
