Biomechanical analysis of Paralympic amputee sprinters has implications for the design of prosthetic components and for the improvement of the athletic performance. Field measurements are the optimal condition to collect data for this purpose. Therefore, the aim of this study was to complete a kinematic and kinetic analysis of a unilateral transfemoral amputee sprinter running on track. Data were gathered with a 28-camera motion capture (mocap) system and wearable kinetic sensors. Joint kinematics of the prosthetic limb and the intact limb were compared. The results presented here provide an example of outcomes which can support the improvement of athletes' safety and performance.

Biomechanical analysis of Paralympic amputee sprinters has implications for the design of prosthetic components and for the improvement of the athletic performance.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to complete a kinematic and kinetic analysis of a unilateral transfemoral amputee sprinter running on track. Data were gathered with a 28-camera motion capture (mocap) system and wearable kinetic sensors. Joint kinematics of the prosthetic limb and the intact limb were compared. The results presented here provide an example of outcomes which can support the improvement of athletes' safety and performance.Pubblicazioni consigliate
