Stellingen (Propositions):
1. Most people with a lower limb amputation are recreational cyclists, but most studies about cycling in people with lower limb amputations focus on competitive cyclists. (this thesis)
2. Main reasons for both Thai and Dutch people with a lower limb amputation to cycle are increase/maintain health, increase/maintain muscle strength, transport, and fun. (this thesis)
3. A majority of people with a lower limb amputation use a daily walking prosthesis to cycle. (this thesis)
4. Cyclists are more satisfied with their prosthesis than non-cyclists. (this thesis) 5. Performance is the key factor directly influencing the satisfaction with prosthetic
sports feet use. (this thesis)
6. Prostheses should be provided based on the individuals motivation/intentions to use the prosthesis rather than their physical limitations of joint contractures. (this thesis) 7. Of the Dutch persons with a lower limb amputation 68% cycles, in Thailand 47%. This
difference is related to cultural norms, environment, weather, and policies.
8. Social or national events, such as "Bike for mom or dad" in Thailand, are meant to be for everyone, hence people with a lower limb amputation should be facilitated to participate.
