Brief Summary
The purpose of this research is to determine the feasibility of an uneven terrain walking program for lower limb prosthesis users. The training is designed to induce step-to-step variability during walking within a safe environment, with the aim of improving walking skill and confidence.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * lower limb amputation at ankle (Symes) level and above * age 18+ years * fitted with a walking prosthesis and use it regularly for home and/or community ambulation * good socket fit, assessed by a score of 8-10 on the socket fit comfort scale * able to walk for three minutes at a time with or without an assistive device Exclusion Criteria: * leg/foot ulcer or other conditions that cause pain during weight-bearing * poor skin integrity that could cause tissue breakdown by walking * cardiovascular, respiratory or other critical health conditions that preclude moderate physical activity * unilateral or bilateral upper limb absence or loss at the wrist and above that precludes use of handrails bilaterally, or would require asymmetrical adaptation to body posture for use. * pregnancy
