Comparison of Static

چکیده
The purpose of this investigation was to compare the results in weight distribution between the two lower extremities of a group of unilateral below-knee (BK) amputee adults trained by conventional methods and another group trained by using visual feedback techniques through dynamic posturography imparted using a dual force plate system. Two sets of BK amputees were taken. One set of fifteen old BK amputees (>1 yr) using the PTB prosthesis and trained conventionally with parallel bars and mirror. Second set of fifteen recent amputees (3 months to 1 year) fitted with prostheses recently and they were given weight bearing training for equalized weight distribution by dynamic posturography using force plate systems. They were further sent to the parallel bar system for gait training. The results of our study indicated that weight bearing was more on the normal foot. The discrepancy was to the order of 65:35 percentage of Total Body Weight (%TBW). This data was then compared with normal individuals for the dominant and non-dominant phenomenon where the difference was 52:48%TBW. The difference in the second test group after training was much less, to the order of 55:45%TBW. This difference is believed to significantly improve the gait, reduce the static sway of the patient and thereby increase the overall acceptability of the prosthesis.

Comparison of Static Postural Stability Performance Among Adolescents with Different Foot Types
The foot represents a small base of support as an important biomechanical parameter that the body maintains balance. It is assumed that postural stability performance could be affected by even minor alteration in the support surface in upright standing position. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if individuals with different foot types would demonstrate differences in static...
