Effects of mirror feedback on upright stance control in elderly transfemoral amputees
Original language description
Objective: To investigate the effects of mirror feedback on upright stance control in elderly transfemoral amputees. Design: Before and after intervention trials. Setting: University medical bioengineering laboratory. Participants: Elderly transfemoral amputees (N_12). Interventions: Participants were asked to stand upright, as immobile as possible, in 2 Eyes-open and Mirror-feedback experimental conditions. The latter experimental condition consisted of supplying the participants with their frontal reflection by positioning a mirror in front of them. Main Outcome Measures: Weight-bearing symmetry and the displacements of the center of foot pressure under the nonaffected limb and the prosthetic limb. Results: Mirror feedback did not modify weight-bearing symmetry and had different effects on the center of foot pressure displacements under the nonaffected limb and prosthetic limb: a decreased center of foot pressure surface area was observed in the Mirror-feedback condition relative to
