Arterial Stiffness in Lower Limb Amputees
BACKGROUND A high carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been related to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but has not been previously evaluated in amputees. The aim of this study was to compare PWV between amputees and nonamputees. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 60 male lower limb amputees and 86 male age-matched nonamputees. PWV was me...

The percentage of prosthetic fitting among patients un...
