The aims of the present study were to quantify lower limb kinetics and kinematics during walking and slow jogging of below-knee amputee athletes and to demonstrate the usefulness of the additional information provided by kinetic analyses as compared to that of kinematic assessments alone. Kinematic and force platform data from three amputee subjects were collected while the subjects walked and ...

A nationwide epidemiological study included 3516 primary major lower limb amputations in diabetic patients, during the period 1982 to 1992. On this well defined diabetic amputee population the relative mortality (Standard Mortality Ratio, SMR) has been analysed. The mortality rate was found to be 8 times the expected during the first year following amputation. The relative mortality is higher f...

A small group of patients is reported in whom amputation or re-amputation of the upper or lower limb has been performed at increasingly higher levels in an unsuccessful attempt to relieve the patients' unrecognized chronic pain syndrome. The possibility of self mutilation should also be considered. The etiological factors and management of this uncommon but difficult problem are discussed. It i...

Some of the unique issues upperlimb amputees encounter are self-esteem and body-image concerns, the impact on appearance and to social abilities, secondary post-traumatic adjustments for the majority of traumatic injury patients, and feelings of isolation from other amputees, among other concerns. A t...

An eight-year-old, male, thoracic limb amputee Whippet presented with a traumatic lateral luxation of the scapulohumeral joint. Surgical reduction and stabilisation of the shoulder joint by means of a modified Campbell scapulohumeral prosthesis and capsulorrhaphy was unsuccessful and reluxation of the shoulder joint occurred. Subsequent surgical stabilisation using bicipital tendon transpositio...
