متن کاملGait recovery pattern of unilateral lower limb amputees during rehabilitation.
The aim of this study was to determine the rate at which gait recovery as measured by temporal distance factors (velocity and symmetry) occurs in unilateral lower limb amputees. A microcomputer foot switch system was used to record the gait patterns of twenty subjects, mean age 65.1 years. The initial measurement was taken when the subject was capable of walking 6 metres with an interim prosthe...
متن کاملLower limb amputees in Southern Finland.
The purpose of this study was to look at the current epidemiological trends of lower limb amputees in 1992 in the area of Southern Finland with 1.2 million inhabitants. Similar data was collected earlier in 1984-85 and 1989. The amputation incidence was found to be 27.4 per 100,000 inhabitants. The trans-tibial/trans-femoral ratio was 0.78. The percentage of prosthetic fitting among patients un...
متن کاملSurvival rates in dysvascular lower limb amputees.
BACKGROUND To assess the 5-year and 10-year survival rates of major (above ankle disarticulation level) dysvascular lower limb amputees attending a sub-regional Disablement Services Centre (DSC) specialising in amputee rehabilitation. Also to investigate the association between survival rates, cause of dysvascularity, level of amputation, smoking status and occupational status. SETTING The st...
