Changes in the corticospinal tract after wearing prosthesis in bilateral transtibial amputation.

abstract：:Long-term results over a period of more than 10 years give evidence of the superiority of the through-knee compared to the above-knee stump. However, failures in through-knee stumps before, during and after operation and pitfalls in prosthetic fitting are still too frequent. They are mostly due to errors because the p...
