Abbie’s research motivation is to better understand amputee gait and improve functional ability. Currently she is investigating the biomechanical differences between a traditional transtibial amputation and an osteomyoplastic amputation (Ertl). She is specifically interested in identifying how this population performs sit-to-stand tasks and curb negotiation.
