Abstract
Gait laboratory measurements on unilateral ankle replacement subjects were made at one year after surgery. The basic form of the vertical component of the ground reaction force on both the affected and unaffected sides retained the pattern typical of normal subjects, with an initial peak, an intermediate minimum, and a second peak. Statistical analysis using paired t-tests showed a significant difference only between the values of ground reation force at the second peak (p = 0.01).
