Biomechanical assessment of below-knee residual limb tissue.
In vivo indentation properties of the residual limb tissues of a group of senior subjects with below-knee (BK) amputation were measured and compared with those of nondisabled young adults. It was found that differences attributable to site variations, states of muscular activity, and the differences between the nondisabled young group and the group consisting of the seniors with amputation were...
متن کاملGait training for the below-knee amputee.
Introduction Statistics show that the real incidence of amputa t ion occurs between 60 and 75 years (Kay & N e w m a n , 1975). Hence most of the time the therapist is dealing with older patients who have a poor vascular condition which is often accompanied by other complications such as diabetes , hypertension or cerebro-vascular accidents. The level of amputat ion is highly dependab le on tis...
متن کاملBent knee pylon for the below-knee amputee.
Seventy-five patients with below-knee amputations have used a device called a bent knee pylon for immediate and continued ambulation prior to permanent prosthetic fitting. The advantages and disadvantages of the bent knee pylon have been described. In seven patients with knee flexion contractures, range of motion was increased with the use of the bent knee pylon. Immediate postsurgical prosthet...
متن کاملThe role of the contralateral limb in below-knee amputee gait.
Very little quantitative biomechanical research has been carried out evaluating issues relevant to prosthetic management. The literature available suggests that amputees may demonstrate an asymmetrical gait pattern. Furthermore, studies suggest that the forces occurring during amputee gait may be unequally distributed between the contralateral and prosthetic lower limbs. This study investigates...
متن کاملLower limb intersegmental forces for below-knee amputee children during standing.
The purpose of this investigation was to compare intersegmental knee and hip forces for below-knee amputee (BKA) and able-bodied children during standing. Three unilateral BKA children and 10 able-bodied children (7-9 years) were tested on four separate occasions at six month intervals. Three trials of external force and spatial data during standing were collected from each subject for each ses...
