The relative contributions of the prosthetic and sound limb to balance control in unilateral transtibial amputees.
In unilateral transtibial amputees maintenance of standing balance is compromised due to the lack of active ankle control in the prosthetic limb. The purpose of this study is to disentangle the contribution of the prosthetic and sound limb to balance control following waist-pull perturbations. We compared the contribution of the hip and ankle joints to balance control of 15 unilateral transtibi...
متن کاملSensory changes in adults with unilateral transtibial amputation.
The purpose of this study was to describe the sensory changes in adults with unilateral transtibial amputation (TTA), as any loss of sensation may have significant impact on the successful use of a prosthesis. Sensory modalities of light touch, deep pressure, vibration, and superficial pain (pinprick) were examined on the residual and contralateral limbs of 16 veterans with TTA. Six Subjects de...
متن کاملEthnicity and spatiotemporal parameters of bilateral and unilateral transtibial amputees in a 100-m sprint
Similar to able-bodied sprinters, most of the medals for the 100-m sprint in past Paralympic Games and IPC Athletics World Championships were dominated by West African (WA) and Caucasian (CC) amputee sprinters, not Asian (AS) sprinters. Although these results indicate differences in sprint performance due to ethnicity, little is known about the ethnicity and spatiotemporal parameters of the 100...
متن کاملUniversity of Groningen Balance recovery after an evoked forward fall in unilateral transtibial amputees
Falls are a common and potentially dangerous event, especially in amputees. In this study, we compared the mechanisms of balance recovery of 17 unilateral transtibial amputees and 17 matched able-bodied controls after being released from a forward-inclined orientation of 10%. Kinematic analysis revealed statistically significant differences in response time and knee flexion at heel-strike betwe...
متن کاملInter- and intra-observer reproducibility and validity of an indirect volume measurement in transtibial amputees.
The objective of the study was to assess the measurement properties of an indirect volumetric measurement using segmental circumferential measurements fitted into a formula of a truncated cone (Sitzia's method) in long-term transtibial amputees. Twenty-eight participants with a transtibial amputation >1 year participated in the study. Two observers measured stump volume twice, two weeks apart, ...
