Biomechanical parameters of gait among transtibial amputees: a review.
Rehabilitation for lower-limb amputees needs to focus on restoration of daily functions and independent locomotion. As gait is reestablished, reorganization of the motor pattern takes place in order to optimize the functions of the locomotor system. Biomechanics is a field of study that enables understanding of this reorganization. From such knowledge, appropriate strategies for recovering the ...
متن کاملGait asymmetry of transfemoral amputees using mechanical and microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees.
BACKGROUND Amputees walk with an asymmetrical gait, which may lead to future musculoskeletal degenerative changes. The purpose of this study was to compare the gait asymmetry of active transfemoral amputees while using a passive mechanical knee joint or a microprocessor-controlled knee joint. METHODS Objective 3D gait measurements were obtained in 15 subjects (12 men and 3 women; age 42, rang...
متن کاملGait improvement in unilateral transfemoral amputees by a combined psychological and physiotherapeutic treatment.
A conscious therapeutic approach was used combining methods in physiotherapy with psychological awareness to re-educate nine transfemoral amputees during 10 months in outdoor environments. All were rehabilitated trauma or tumour cases, mean age 33 years, and had worn their prostheses for more than 18 months. The method aimed at integrating the prosthesis in normal movements and increasing body ...
متن کاملA Powered Self-contained Knee and Ankle Prosthesis for near Normal Gait in Transfemoral Amputees
To my wife and son iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Reflecting upon my graduate career, I am deeply grateful to the many people whose help, insight, and guidance has brought me to where I am at today. I would first like to thank Dr. Ty Newell, who helped a former student find his direction and motivated him to enter graduate school. Next, I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Michael Goldfarb for taking me o...
متن کاملEffect of Asymmetric Knee Height on Gait Asymmetry for Unilateral Transfemoral Amputees
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...
