Abstract

This dissertation is concerned with the consequences of a transfemoral amputation for the morphology and functions of the muscles around the hip joint. Knowledge about and insight into the changes appearing in the morphology and functions of the hip muscles of transfemoral amputees are important to amputation surgery as well as to prosthetics. Amputation surgery and prosthetics are interrelated and cannot be separated one from another. .... Zie: Summary
