Thanks to all who have replied with regard to my search of different prosthetic
feet and their effects on lower back pain. In summary, I had found a Medline
search to provide many articles comparing different prosthetic feet and their
effects on gait. To save time and space, anyone interested in these articles
can email me directly for a copy. Oterhwise, web pages of various companies
providing prosthetic feet also helped in differentiating between the
components. Thanks again, and here is a listing of replies I received. Sorry
for the delay in getting this out

Original post:
I am new to this list, so it’s possible I’ve missed discussions on this topic.
I’m a master’s student researching the effects of different LE prosthetic
components and their effects on lower back pain. I’m attempting to do a lit
search, and have found some articles related to different prosthetic feet. Are
there any other suggestions or articles available on knees, pylons, etc.?
Thanks for any help, and I will post a summary of results.

Dear Jacqueline Schmit,
I am also a master student looking for articles. I found on internet a library
(University of Strathclyde ) that has bibliographies on many topics of
prosthetics. If you are interested, please take a look on

Hope you find what your looking for.

Hello Jacqueline Schmit
I just read your post on OANDP-L. I am moderator of AMP-L, an amputee
listserv at University of Washington. You are welcome to subscribe and
post your questions or query to gauge response from amputees who might
be interested in your research. Of course, if it is strictly literature
and not real-life or anecdotal experience you seek, well, it might not
be beneficial to you.
Be happy to send you subscription info.

centre for training and education in P+O in Glasgow
