Without biomechanical analyses to provide such benchmark data for this group it is not possible to...
متن کاملFactors influencing rehabilitation of arteriosclerotic lower limb amputees.
This survey considered 598 arteriosclerotic amputees over a period of 9 years: 267 below-knee; 81 Gritti-Stokes; 195 above-knee; and 55 double amputees. A walking ability index (WAI) ranging from 1 for a normal gait to 6 for inability to walk was determined for these amputees by clinical grading at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after prosthesis fitting. Amputees with the below-knee operation had bette...
متن کاملThe effect of prosthetic rehabilitation in lower limb amputees.
The objectives of this project were to ascertain whether, to date, the views concerning the determination of prosthetic candidacy have been optimal and whether the training methods applied have been effective and have resulted in constant use of the prosthesis after conclusion of the training programme. Secondly it was intended to set up guidelines for future budgeting as well as providing a re...
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 کاملGeriatric rehabilitation of lower limb amputees: a multicenter study.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine factors independently associated with successful rehabilitation of patients with lower limb amputation in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). METHODS All patients admitted to one of the 11 participating SNFs were eligible. Multidisciplinary teams collected the data.
