Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction This study evaluated the efficacy of two different medial linkage mechanisms (sliding mechanism [SM] and medial linkage mechanism associated with reciprocating gait motion (MLRGM), used within otherwise identical knee-ankle-foot orthoses (KAFOs) on patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Three volunteer subjects with SCI were fitted with a KAFO equipped with 1) an SM and 2) a medial linkage mechanism (MLRGM). Subjects walked at their self-selected speed along a flat walkway to enable a comparison of walking speed, endurance, and the resulting physiological cost index to be performed. Results The use of a KAFO fitted with the MLRGM resulted in improvements in walking speed, distance walked, and energy costs when compared with the more standard SM. However, the time required to don the KAFO increased with use of the MLRGM, but doffing time was approximately equal for both types. Conclusions This study demonstrated that the use of a KAFO with an MLRGM could provide significant benefits for patients with SCI when compared with a KAFO with a standard SM.

膝关节-踝关节-足矫形器两种不同内侧连接机制对脊髓损伤患者行走能力的影响比较
摘要简介本研究评估了两种不同的内侧连杆机构(滑动机构[SM]和与往复步态相关的内侧连杆机制(MLRGM))在其他相同的膝踝足矫形器(KAFOs)中对脊髓损伤(SCI)患者的疗效。方法对3例SCI受试者进行KAFO,该KAFO配备有1)SM和2)中间连接机制(MLRGM)。受试者以自己选择的速度沿着平坦的人行道行走,以比较行走速度、耐力和由此产生的生理成本指数。结果与更标准的SM相比,使用装有MLRGM的KAFO可提高行走速度、行走距离和能源成本。然而,佩戴KAFO所需的时间随着MLRGM而增加,但两种类型的落棉时间大致相等。结论本研究表明,与具有标准SM的KAFO相比,使用具有MLRGM的KAFO可以为SCI患者提供显著的益处。

期刊介绍: Published quarterly by the AAOP, JPO: Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics provides information on new devices, fitting and fabrication techniques, and patient management experiences. The focus is on prosthetics and orthotics, with timely reports from related fields such as orthopaedic research, occupational therapy, physical therapy, orthopaedic surgery, amputation surgery, physical medicine, biomedical engineering, psychology, ethics, and gait analysis. Each issue contains research-based articles reviewed and approved by a highly qualified editorial board and an Academy self-study quiz offering two PCE''s.
