Despite increases in cumulative total limb and hip joint loading, between-limb loading asymmetries persist. Habitual loading asymmetry has been implicated in contributing to negative long-term joint health and onset or progression of degenerative joint diseases. Improved understanding of methods to address habitual loading asymmetries is needed to optimize rehabilitation and long-term joint health as people with transfemoral amputation increase physical activity when using a BAL.
