In lower limb amputation, prosthetic gait has been shown to be particularly energy-intensive. While energy expenditure has been the focus of many studies in adult amputees, this area of research is less developed for paediatric amputees. However, the increase in energy expenditure has implications for the physical, gait, and balance abilities of amputees of all ages. Combined with physical deconditioning, it exposes the patient to a greater risk of a sedentary lifestyle and weight gain, which is detrimental to their prosthetic training, autonomy, and length of hospital stay. However, this increased expenditure and deconditioning is not currently the subject of systematic evaluation in routine clinical practice for this population. In contrast to adults, the gait pattern of children amputees is poorly described, and the relation between energy expenditure and gait is rarely discussed. Oxy
