Description
The primary aim of this pilot study is to characterize the proactive and reactive locomotor
response of Veterans with
The investigators will address the study aims by analyzing trip-induced proactive and
reactive locomotor strategy differences in two study comparisons: 1) Veterans with unilateral
transradial level ULL against matched able-bodied controls (with and without one arm bound),
and 2) Veterans with unilateral transradial ULL when wearing their customary prosthesis
against not wearing their prosthesis. Controlled, yet unexpected, simulated trips will be
delivered through the investigators' custom-built treadmill which permits programmable belt
velocity disturbances and allows participants to continue walking following recovery. The
investigators will characterize the proactive and reactive locomotor stability mechanisms
through a set of biomechanical (spatiotemporal, angular momentum, arm and trunk kinematics,
recovery step length and time) and electromyography (upper and
