Abstract
Muscle´s tone and muscular force are very important in the rehabilitative treatment of patients with exoskeletal leg prosthesis to increase bipedal posture and velocity gait: few reports cite the employment of isokinetic test and 6MWT in the treatment of this type of patients. These specific instruments are useful for the evaluation of transtibial rather transfemoral amputation patients.
