Knee disarticulation versus above-knee amputation.
If below-knee amputation is impossible, knee disarticulation should be considered before above-knee amputation, regardless of age and etiology. Knee disarticulation which leaves the femur and patella untoched offers many advantages. The surgical technique is simple and non-traumatic since no bone or muscle tissue is to be dissected. The thigh muscles are completely preserved and thus there is n...

متن کاملTechnical note--auditory feedback of knee angle for amputees.
A new gait training device has been developed to provide auditory feedback of knee angle information to above-knee and hip disarticulation amputees. Traditionally, new amputees have relied on visual feedback of knee position during gait training (van Griethuysen, 1979). This auditory feedback system eliminates the need for visual feedback by providing a frequency encoded tone corresponding to k...
