The purpose of this study was to analyze the gait of amputee compared with the normals and quantify the deviation, so that the effect of prothesis could be verified. The subjects were 12 prothesis-using amputee for experimental group, and 3 normals for control group. 3-D analysis was used for experiment process to analyze Uneven Heel Rise, Lateral Trunk Bending, Wide Walking Base, Circumduction, Swing Phase Whips, Velocity of C.G., stride length and group reaction when walking.
The results were as follows;
1. Degree of lateral Trunk Bending was appeared more widely in BK.& A.K. group than in control group; 1∼2。 in control group, 3。 in A.K. group, 7。 in A.K. group, 14。 in R.A.K. group.
2. The velocity of vertical trunk movement was not appeared significantly between Control & B.K. group but velocity of A.K. group was appeared almost 2 times faster.
3. The Unevens Heel Rise was appeared lower in B.K.& A.K. group than in control group.
4. Circumduction of feet was more serious(5。) in B.K. group than in control & A.K. group.
5. In all groups the tendency of Foot Abduction was generally but in R.A.K. group Foot Adduction could be observed.
6. Stride length was longer in B.K.& A.K. group than in control group because of the Body-Balancing problem.
7. Wide walking Base was appeared 3㎝ longer in B.K. group than in group 8㎝ longer in A.K. group than in control group.
