People with lower limb amputations have impaired balance and gait, which is affected by dual-task to a greater degree compared to healthy adults. An examination of how PLLA-specific factors such as level of amputation, reason for amputation, and experience with a prosthesis affect dual-task performance has not yet been thoroughly explored. Future research should continue to characterize the cognitive-mobility link to better understand the challenges associated with the use of a prosthesis.
