It is accepted, muscle activity and muscle strength affect to move lower limb prosthesis (AalamiHarandi, 1987).
Muscle atrophy (decreasing of volume of the muscle) results in decreasing of the strength of the muscle (Jensen, 1869).
The objective of this research is to study the atrophy of the muscles of the stump (residual limb) in unilateral lower limb amputees using prosthesis.

Keywords: Atrophy; Amputee; Lower Limb; Prosthesis; Stump; Unilateral.
