Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of classical Chopart prosthesis and silicone prosthesis on socket comfort, satisfaction level and quality of life in patients with unilateral Chopart amputation.
This study was motivated by the lack of data in the literature on the injury of the major lower limb amputee playing sports and its socio-professional impact. It aims to study sports-related injuries in lower limb amputees. Its objective is to determine the prevalence, but also to describe the injuries (type, location, duration, type of management) and their repercussions in terms of after-effects, and repercussions on sports, professional and personal practice. It also aims to begin a correlation between injury and sports load, type of sport (discipline, practice modality), technical aids used
This study was conducted to examine the effect of visual feedback on function, stability and quality of life in transtibial amputees. A total of 24 subjects who had unilateral transtibial amputations, used prosthesis with total surface bearing socket (TSB) for at least 1 year and volunteered to participate in the study were included. Before and after Treatment subjects were evaluated with "LASAR Posture" for prosthetic weight bearing (PWB), "Berg Balance Scale (BBS)" and "Timed Up& Go Test (TUG)" for balance and functional mobility, "2-Minute-Walk-Test (2MWT)" for physical performance, "Satisfaction with the Prosthesis Questionnaire (SATPRO)" for prosthetic pleasure and "Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)" for health- related quality of life. Participants were randomly divided into two equal groups as study and control groups. After the evaluations the same exercises; PWB exercises, balance exercises, anteroposterior and lateral weight shifting, obstacle course, walking on different grounds were applied to the the study group with visual feedback methods and control group.
The prospective cohort study, SuTra2, assesses the functional and socio-economic status of patients who were operated on for a severe limb injury resulting in amputation or limb preservation 1 and 2 years after the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
Amputee gait produces periodic occlusion of residual limb blood vessels. During the stance phase of gait, body weight cause the prosthesis to compresses the soft tissue of the residual limb and occlude blood flow. This occlusion can be relieved during swing phase, but may depend on type of prosthesis. The purpose of the proposed research is to: (1) discover the range of tissue oxygenation in the intact and residual lower limbs of dysvascular amputees during gait and (2) to learn which of five different prosthetic limb systems provides greater tissue oxygenation.
The purpose of this randomized control study is to determine if administering neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to the thigh muscles of a below the knee amputee is more effective than the current standard of care in preserving thigh muscle strength. In addition, this study will examine the NMES treatment effects on the participant's gait, quality of life, functional performance of standing, walking, and stair climbing, and symptoms associated with residual and phantom limb pain. The primary aim is to compare NMES plus standard rehabilitation (treatment group) to the standard rehabilitation (control group) by measuring lower extremity muscle strength. The secondary aims are to compare NMES treatment group to the control group by measuring Quality of Life (QOL) and the symptoms associated with residual & phantom limb pain. In addition to the specific aims, this study will also examine the two groups for functional performance and gait patterns after prosthetic fitting.
The purpose of this study is to identify the best treatment sequence and combination of acupuncture points for the treatment of phantom limb or residual limb pain in the traumatic/surgical amputee.
The biomechanics of changing direction while walking has been largely neglected despite its relevancy to functional mobility. In addition, an increased risk of injury can be associated with turning due to a decrease in stability. The objective of this study is to understand the biomechanics of turning gait in sample populations of intact and trans-tibial amputees and the capacity of prosthetic components to facilitate transverse plane movement. The clinical impact of this investigation is the development of interventions that increase functional mobility, stability and safety while turning. The researchers propose to investigate three sets of hypotheses. The first set addresses the fundamental biomechanical mechanisms associated with walking along a circular trajectory, how intact subjects differ from amputees, and the effect of a rotation adaptor pylon. The second set of hypotheses addresses dynamic stability and the potential influence of prosthetic interventions. The third set of hypotheses addresses how the rotational properties of the prosthetic pylon can influence comfort and mobility during daily activities.
