In the absence of material (transtibial wire), skin traction can be applied using a bandage attached to the skin by large bands of non elastic adhesive tape, applied along, not around the limb, from the thigh to the heel and connected to a board maintaining the ankle at right angles to prevent a resulting deformity.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 8] Reference

The transtibial technique also presented additional concerns.    From Wordnik.com.  [Medlogs - Recent stories] Reference

While more frequently observed in transfemoral amputees, this altered base of support may also be seen with transtibial amputees (Fig 1.12.).    From Wordnik.com.  [Recently Uploaded Slideshows] Reference

BACKWARD WALKING: Walking backward is not difficult for transtibial amputees but poses a problem for amputees requiring a prosthetic knee since there is no means of actively flexing the knee for adequate ground clearance.    From Wordnik.com.  [Recently Uploaded Slideshows] Reference

D. transtibial AMPUTEES: STEP OVER STEP: When ascending stairs, the transtibial amputee who does not have the ability to dorsiflex his foot/ankle assembly must generate a stronger concentric contraction of the knee and hip extensors in order to successfully transfer body weight over the prosthetic limb.    From Wordnik.com.  [Recently Uploaded Slideshows] Reference
