Study Summary
Bicycling is a promising form of low-impact exercise that could prevent/treat Type 2 diabetes. However, Veterans with transtibial amputations (TTAs) may not effectively utilize bicycling for rehabilitation and exercise due to improper bike fit, socket discomfort, and/or the potential for injury. An optimized prosthetic/bicycle fit could improve comfort and reduce injury risk by decreasing asymmetries between legs, lowering metabolic costs, and improving efficiency for Veterans with TTAs during bicycling. Moreover, the use of objective prosthetic/bicycle fit guidelines would allow clinicians to facilitate shorter appointment times and fewer revisits for Veterans with TTAs. The investigators will determine the physiological and biomechanical effects of different prosthetic and bicycle configurations for Veterans with a TTA to develop optimal prosthetic/bicycle fit guidelines. The investigators hypothesize that a longer prosthetic pylon length and shorter bicycle crank arm length for the affected compared to the unaffected leg along with a pedal attachment position beneath the pylon compared to beneath the forefoot will optimize performance for Veterans with TTAs the investigators' research will integrate evidence-based guidelines to advance rehabilitation and enhance the lives of Veterans with an amputation, thus improving and restoring their function.
