Relevance – People with transtibial amputation (TTA) are encouraged to engage in recreation sports for health and mechanical benefits. – Most recreational sports involve jumping.

Assessment – Contralateral symmetry (Symmetry Index). – Symmetry at group level (Mann-Whitney U Test).

Asymmetrical loading demands associated with vertical jump landings in people with unilateral transtibial amputation. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(10):1435–48. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2012.10.0199 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2012.10.0199JSP Results Participants with TTA demonstrated: – Quasi-unilateral landings onto intact limb. Due to either incapability of prosthetic ankle to plantar flex or increased residual-limb knee and hip flexion. – In loading phase, reduced prosthetic-side peak vertical forces, ankle range of motion, extensor moments, and negative work generated. Individual asymmetries evident in: – Peak vertical force magnitudes, duration from touchdown to peak vertical force, ankle joint angles at touchdown, ranges of motion, knee and hip extensor moments, and work done at ankle.
