When comparing athletes with different amputation levels, it was seen that athletes with more proximally (higher) located amputations exerted less force with their affected limb than athletes with a more distal (lower) amputation or a bilateral amputation (Fig 7). Nonetheless, the unilateral transfemoral (proximal) amputees analyzed in the present study compensated for this deficiency by applying a proportionally greater force with the (non-affected) front leg, thereby achieving a better overall SP than transtibial (distal) amputees.
