Comparison of kinematic characteristics for elevating strategies across able-bodied, sound side and prosthesis side trips. a Increases in joint flexion (ankle dorsiflexion) were measured relative to the joint angles at trip onset. Elevating strategies on the prosthesis side had statistically smaller increases in the ankle dorsiflexion compared to able-bodied subjects (*p < .05, familywise). b There were no differences in trochanter height across tripped limb groups. c Elevating strategies were statistically longer in duration for prosthesis side trips in amputees than in able-bodied subjects. Dots indicate individual subject averages. Number of subjects per group is indicated in the legend
