There are certain considerations that must be acknowledged
when interpreting the results of the current study. First, in the
present study, we recruited eight ILEA, but there is a great variation
in the running experience of the participants (3–256 months).
Running with prostheses can take some time to adjust to, and this
may affect the current results by introducing greater variability in
the ILEA group regarding their running patterns. Second, current
participants used their own RSP (2 in Cheetah, 4 in Flex-Run, 2 in
Catapult) during the experiment. It has been implicated that
running mechanics using RSPs may be influenced by type of RSPs
[1,34,35]. Therefore, caution needs to be taken regarding the
interpretation and generalization of these finding
