The aim of our study is to describe the selected biomechanical parameters of gait in patients with a two-year experience with a bionic knee. One female with transfemoral amputation participated in the study.The participant visited the laboratory on two separate occasions. On both occasions, the proband performed fifteen attempts to walk across two Kistler force plates. For the purpose of the kinematic analysis, motion measurement markers were placed on the proband?s body. During the gait measurement, there was no flexion during the swing phase in the afflicted extremity of the patient with a two-year experience with a bionic knee joint. This fact also affected the active propulsion during the stance phase of the healthy extremity. These deviations from normal gait complicate changing the walk to running.
