The utility of the single-subject method for comparison of temporal-spatial gait changes between a microprocessor and non-microprocessor prosthetic knees.

The results demonstrate the use of the single-subject method for examining person-specific differences in temporal-spatial gait characteristics between walking with a non-microprocessor prosthetic knee and microprocessor prosthetic knee at three self-selected speeds. The method proved feasible and reliable for documenting changes in gait at the individual level, which is relevant for clinical practice.
