Proprioception in Above-the-Knee Amputees with Artificial Limbs
PURPOSE To evaluate the lower limb proprioceptive sensation in patients with femoral amputation who received an artificial joint. MATERIALS AND METHODS 22 patients (18 men, 4 women), 24-65 years old (mean: 42), who had undergone above-the-knee joint amputation and underwent evaluation of proprioception using joint reposition in a predetermined angle of 15° knee flexion. The measurements were ...
متن کاملA Series of 210 Peripheral Arterial Disease Below-Knee Amputations and Predictors for Subsequent Above-Knee Amputations
Objective: To review patient characteristics and outcomes after peripheral arterial disease (PAD)-related below-knee amputation (BKA), and identify risk factors predicting subsequent above-knee amputation (AKA). Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of 210 BKAs between May 2008 and December 2015. Results: The mean age of the study population was 66 years. Most of the patients had cardiov...
متن کاملevaluation of variations of neck to shaft of femur in amputations above knee
in this study, we investigated variations of the angle between neck and shaft of femur after amputation of tigh above the knee. in amputated tigh the angle between neck and shaft of the femur is decreased than normal (nearly 90° degrees) (coax vara). the angle of the normal femur usually increases due to weight bearing (coax valga). in the patients that both tighs have been amputated the change...
متن کاملIschaemic wound complications in above-knee amputations in relation to the skin perfusion pressure.
Healing of the stumps in 59 above-knee amputations was correlated with the local skin perfusion pressure (SPP) measured preoperatively as the external pressure required to stop isotope washout using 131I-(-) or 125I-(-) antipyrine mixed with histamine. Out of the 11 cases with an SPP below 30 mmHg no fewer than 9 (82 per cent) suffered wound complications. Out of the 48 cases with an SPP above ...
متن کاملAmputations below the knee.
2 Director, Prosthetics Research Study, Seattle, Wash. AHE elective amputation must be considered plastic and reconstructive in nature. The need to create a dynamic and sensory motor end-organ should be foremost in the surgeon's mind in planning an amputation, and is emphasized here once more. The below-knee stump no longer hangs suspended in an open-end socket. The variable degrees of pressure...
