Table 3 Log-transformed peak isometric hip torque normalized to body mass × thigh length in the residual and intact limbs of unilateral lower limb prosthesis users as well as age- and gender-matched controls. Data are presented as mean ± 95% confidence interval

From: After scaling to body size hip strength of the residual limb exceeds that of the intact limb among unilateral lower limb prosthesis users
