Abstract
Background: After transfemoral amputation a prosthesis is required to restore autonomous standing and bipedal locomotion. Attachment of the prosthesis can be achieved either classically via socket suspension with a shaft in the stump or directly via implantation of an intramedullary transcutaneous femoral prosthesis (osseointegrated prosthesis).
Aim: A fully instrumented gait analysis should enable objectification of the anticipated advantages of the EEP with respect to the gait pattern and individual mobility.
Material and methods: In two patients with a unilateral transfemoral amputation a comprehensive gait analysis was carried out prior to and 6 months (patient 1) or 11 and 20 months (patient 2) after switching from a socket prosthesis to an EEP. This was carried out in the Gait Realtime Analysis Interactive Lab (GRAIL), a fully instrumented gait laboratory with virtual reality and enables assessment close to the conditions of daily life.
Results: In both cases the gait analysis confirmed the advantages associated with an EEP for the transmission of force to the prosthesis and the accompanying improvement in gait symmetry.
期刊介绍:
Der Unfallchirurg is an internationally recognised publication organ. The journal deals with all aspects of accident surgery and reconstruction surgery and serves the continuing medical education of surgeons and accident surgeons with own practices and those working in hospitals.
Practically-oriented works provide an overview on selected topics and offer the reader a summary of current findings from all fields of accident surgery. Besides the imparting of relevant background knowledge, the focus is on the assessment of scientific findings under consideration of practical experience. The reader is given concrete recommendations for his/her practical work.
