Biofeedback training of knee control in the above-knee amputee.
Learning to control a prosthetic knee is a difficult task for the above-knee amputee. A biofeedback training system was designed to help with this problem. The system was found to be useful with several aspects of knee control. Fifteen patients completed a biofeedback training program. Two of these patients did not benefit to the same degree as the other thirteen.
