Author: Jiří Bešťák Title: The effect of footwear on walking and running of patients with an amputation Objective: The main objective of this bachelor thesis is assess the effect of footwear on prosthetic gait and make view of this theme. The thesis is focused on anterior posterior ground reaction force and its changes with variations of footwear. Methods: Four probands (one woman, three men) with transtibial and transfemoral amputation participated at the study. Their age was 20 to 60 years during the study. A condition for inclusion in the study was people with transtibial/transfemoral amputation, degree of activity greater than two, absence of subjective symptoms, traumatic injury. The issue is one-time measurements in the extreme load laboratory at FTVS UK. Kinematics dats from the Kistler force plates are subject to measurements. The obtained data were exported from Qualisys Track Manager software througt the text document into MS Excel. The data were appropriately adjusted for subsequent processing and evaluation in MATLAB. The resulting data were compared individual. Results: The results demonstrated that flat shoe did not affect anterior posterior ground reaction force. Barefoot gait rather did not affect anterior posterior ground reaction force. Gait on hiking shoe rather affected anterior...
