Assessment

Primary outcomes

The evaluation item will be the flexibility of the soft tissue in the thigh. Using a hardness meter and tape measure, the hardness of the soft tissue in the stump will be measured for both the amputated leg of the femoral amputee and the right leg of the healthy subject. The subjects will be asked to stand, and a comparison will be made of the soft tissue flexibility at two tape measure locations and 16 hardness meter locations.
