Prosthesis Preference Correlates with Lyapunov Exponent Difference at Ankle

Correlation found between Lyapunov exponent difference at prosthetic ankle and preference between prostheses. Strong relationship noted, particularly for one participant with stronger preference for an alternate prosthesis. Study by Wurdeman et al., linking preference to stride-to-stride fluctuations at the prosthetic ankle.

  1. Figure 6. Difference in largest Lyapunov exponent (LyE) value at prosthetic ankle from preferred prosthesis to nonpreferred prosthesis was significantly correlated with preference between prostheses (difference in LyE calculated as LyE value for walking with nonpreferred prosthesis minus LyE value for walking with preferred prosthesis). This was noted to be strong relationship. This was also true for one participant who ultimately had stronger preference for alternate prosthesis (participant denoted by ▲).
