Abstract	Introduction Investigation of running with prostheses can already be found in literature but mainly for below-knee amputees (Buckley 2000). Most authors are focused on the improvement of the prosthesis itself. In any case gait analysis of walking is predominating. Computer simulation to improve the running patterns of above-knee amputees could not be detected. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to improve the individual sprinting technique of above-knee amputees. Firstly, typical biomechanical parameters which describe the sprinting technique appropriately were defined. Secondly, according to the founded parameters, the influence of these variables on the stride frequency by computer simulation was investigated.
