A more lateral COM position was associated with increased hip abductor activation. Normalized amputated-limb gluteus medius activity and medial-lateral COM position shown for one representative subject (S1), normalized to stride time. Mean and one standard deviation are represented by the solid line and lighter shaded area around the solid line, respectively. Colors represent each testing condition: no feedback (None) and levels 1–3 of the visual feedback (L1–3). Level 3 corresponds to the longest prosthesis-side stance time. Vertical dotted lines indicate gait events: (from left to right) contralateral toe off, contralateral heel stride, and ipsilateral toe off. Each gait phase is labeled: double-support (DS), single-support prosthesis side (SS-p), and single-support intact side (SS-i). Single-support phase is shaded grey to highlight the gait phase in which the greatest changes occurred with visual feedback
