OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of a 10-week training programme on persons with a lower limb amputation and to determine if this training is sufficient to enable running. SUBJECTS Seven transtibial, 8 transfemoral and 1 bilateral amputee (all resulting from trauma, tumour or congenital) were randomly assigned to a training (n =8) or control group (n = 8). METHODS Isokinetic hip flexor ...
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of major lower extremity amputation. OBJECTIVE To examine the influence of gender, level of amputation and diabetes mellitus status on being fit with a prosthetic limb following lower extremity amputation for peripheral arterial disease. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of the Scottish Physiotherapy Amputee Research Group dataset. RESULTS...
A unilateral transtibial amputation causes a disruption to the musculoskeletal system, which results in asymmetrical biomechanics. The current study aimed to assess the movement asymmetry and compensations that occur as a consequence of an amputation when performing a countermovement vertical jump. Six unilateral transtibial amputees and 10 able-bodied (AB) participants completed 10 maximal ver...
Late Sequelae of Amputation reports an extensive investigation of the late effects of amputation on the general health of the amputee. The subjects in the present series were Finnish war veterans disabled during the 1939-1945 wars and made available for the study while attending a government-sponsored three-week course of rehabilitation at the Kaskisaari Rehabilitation Center in Helsinki. The a...
OBJECTIVES To compare stump sensibility in children with upper limb reduction deficiency with sensibility of the unaffected arm and hand. In addition, to evaluate the associations between stump sensibility, stump length and activity level. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Children and young adults aged 6-25 years with upper limb reduction deficiency. METHODS Threshold of touch was m...
Transfemoral prostheses have traditionally sought to emulate symmetry in their designs. Using a symmetric prosthesis for a physically asymmetric unilateral transfemoral amputee typically causes asymmetric gait patterns. This research study investigates the effects of prostheses with lower knee heights than the intact knee and a pilot study of the combined effects of adding distal mass with lowe...
PURPOSE In this study we assessed whether balance confidence scores changed over a 2-year follow up period, and identified predictors of balance confidence and predictors of change in balance confidence among lower limb amputees. METHOD A prospective follow-up survey of 245 community living adults with unilateral below and above knee lower limb amputation who used their prosthetic limb daily ...
This article evaluates the design of a variable impedance prosthetic (VIPr) socket for a transtibial amputee using computeraided design andmanufacturing (CAD/CAM) processes. Compliant features are seamlessly integrated into a three-dimensional printed socket to achieve lower interface peak pressures over bony protuberances by using biomechanical data acquired through surface scanning and magnet...
