Stairs and Ramps For Amputees
Instructional video for lower limb amputees on navigating stairs and ramps with a prosthetic device.
Navigating Stairs:
- Above Knee Amputee: 0:19
- Below Knee Amputee: 3:49
- Bilateral Below Knee Amputee: 6:33
Navigating Ramps:
- Above Knee Amputee: 7:57
- Below Knee Amputee: 11:19
- Bilateral Below Knee Amputee: 13:50
Notes:
- Above knee amputees utilizing a mechanical knee, and not a computerized knee, must keep the prosthetic knee locked at all times when descending stairs and ramps. If the knee is unlocked under load, it will collapse and may result in significant bodily injury. This is best accomplished by tightening the buttock, or gluteal muscles, and pressing into the back of the socket. This will prevent the prosthetic knee from buckling on stairs and declines of a lower grade. Taller grades of ramp may require walking down sideways as demonstrated in this video.
- Always practice with the support of both hands and with supervision while learning how to navigate stairs and ramps. They are a challenging and potentially dangerous obstacle if safety is not the priority.

This is the thirteenth episode of our Prosthetic Training video series which covers the spectrum of amputee rehabilitation from immediately post-amputation through running with a prosthesis. They are intended for clinicians and patients and are a great resource for rehabilitation professionals working with lower limb amputees.
