ABSTRACT Introduction Singapore's aging population and prevalence of chronic diseases and conditions continue to grow along with the need for prosthetic and orthotic services. We need to understand the supply of prosthetic and orthotic services and prosthetists and orthotists (P&Os) to optimize care. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the recent and the future supply and demand for P&Os in Singapore. Methods This was a retrospective medical record review. We identified the seven conditions requiring prosthetic and orthotic services and applied condition-specific admission rates on the projected population of Singapore through 2060 to obtain the number of inpatient admissions requiring the services. We then converted these numbers to prosthetist/orthotist hours by multiplying by prosthetist/orthotist workload for each condition. Finally, we applied two supply scenarios to examine potential P&O shortfall. Results The shortfall was estimated to be 9.4 and 5.4 in 2016 under the respective scenarios. These gaps increase to 18.4 and 5.8, respectively, in 2030, and 28.1 and 6.2, respectively, in 2060. Conclusions The existing shortfall of P&Os in Singapore will continue to grow from 2016 to 2060. Appropriate strategies should be considered and implemented in a timely manner to manage the potential shortfall. Clinical Relevance Projecting the demand for future prosthetist/orthotist manpower through a specific condition-driven and time-based utility approach provides an alternative model to only a linear population growth. This may provide a more accurate predictability and selection of precise strategies to manage future manpower demands.
摘要简介新加坡的人口老龄化、慢性病和疾病的流行率随着对假肢和矫形器服务的需求而持续增长。我们需要了解假肢和矫形器服务以及假肢医生和矫形师(P&O)的供应,以优化护理。因此,本研究的目的是估计新加坡最近和未来的P&O供需情况。方法回顾性分析病历资料。我们确定了需要假肢和矫形器服务的七种情况,并对新加坡2060年的预计人口应用了特定情况的入院率,以获得需要这些服务的住院人数。然后,我们将这些数字乘以每种情况下的假肢医生/矫正师工作量,转换为假肢医生/矫形师小时数。最后,我们应用了两种供应情景来检查潜在的P&O短缺。结果在各自的情景下,2016年的缺口估计分别为9.4和5.4。这些差距在2030年分别增至18.4和5.8,在2060年分别增至28.1和6.2。结论从2016年到2060年,新加坡现有的P&O缺口将继续增长。应及时考虑和实施适当的战略,以管理潜在的短缺。临床相关性通过特定条件驱动和基于时间的效用方法预测未来的假肢医生/矫正师人力需求,为仅线性人口增长提供了一种替代模型。这可以提供更准确的可预测性和选择精确的战略来管理未来的人力需求。

ABSTRACT Introduction This study investigated surfing performance in surfers with transfemoral amputations (TFAs) and transtibial amputations (TTAs) who participated in international para surfing competitions. The purpose of this research was to compare surfers with lower-limb amputations with judged wave scores and surfing experience for para surfing classification efficacy. Materials and Methods Collected archived data (n = 20) from classification records included demographics, residual limb lengths, surfing experiences, and judged wave scores. Continuous variables age (years), residual leg length (cm), remaining leg length (%), prior surfing experience (years), and duration of competing experience (years) were analyzed using independent sample t-test. Ordinal variables surfing performance scores of 2019 and 2020 between the groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Spearman ρ correlation coefficient was used to determine the association between the duration of prior surfing experience and duration of competition experience with the surfing score in both groups. Results Surfers with TFA with longer residual limb lengths (n = 3) and surfers with TTA (n = 14) surfed with a prosthetic leg standing. Surfers with TFA with shorter residual limb lengths (n = 3) surfed without a prosthesis kneeling. We found that para surfers who stood or kneeled with TFA performed significantly better than para surfers with TTA, reflected through judged wave scores in 2019 (P = 0.028) and 2020 (P = 0.019). No statistically significant relationship existed between para surfers with TFA who kneeled or stood. No statistically significant relationship existed between years of para surfing and judged wave scores. Conclusions Surfers with TFA who stood or kneeled received higher judged wave scores than surfers with TTA; however, no other significant significance was found for TFA intragroup comparisons or prior surf experience. The data size was too small for confirmatory analysis. Results appeal to a new need for inquiry on para surfers with TFA and TTA, specifically biomechanical performance surfing differences. Clinical Relevance Individuals with transfemoral and/or transtibial amputations can participate competitively in para surfing contests. Surfers with TFAs can successfully compete either standing with a prosthesis or kneeling without a prosthesis.
摘要:本研究调查了经股骨截肢(tfa)和经胫骨截肢(TTAs)参加国际残疾人冲浪比赛的冲浪运动员的冲浪表现。本研究的目的是比较下肢截肢冲浪者与判定浪分和冲浪经验对para冲浪分类效果的影响。资料和方法从分类记录中收集的存档数据(n = 20)包括人口统计学、残肢长度、冲浪经历和判定浪分。连续变量年龄(年)、剩余腿长(cm)、剩余腿长(%)、既往冲浪经历(年)、参赛经历(年)采用独立样本t检验进行分析。使用Mann-Whitney U检验比较各组之间2019年和2020年的有序变量冲浪成绩得分。采用Spearman ρ相关系数测定两组前冲浪经验持续时间和比赛经验持续时间与冲浪成绩的关系。结果TFA组残肢长度较长的冲浪者(n = 3)和TTA组残肢长度较长的冲浪者(n = 14)使用义肢站立。残肢长度较短的TFA冲浪者(n = 3)在没有假体跪地的情况下冲浪。通过2019年(P = 0.028)和2020年(P = 0.019)的判定浪分,我们发现使用TFA站立或跪下的冲浪者的表现明显优于使用TTA的冲浪者。跪下或站立的冲浪运动员与TFA之间没有统计学上的显著关系。冲浪年龄与判定浪分之间没有统计学上的显著关系。结论站立或跪下的TFA冲浪者判定浪分高于TTA冲浪者;然而,TFA组内比较或先前的冲浪经验没有发现其他显著意义。数据量太小,无法进行验证性分析。结果呼吁新的需要调查与TFA和TTA para冲浪者,特别是生物力学性能冲浪的差异。临床意义经股骨和/或经胫骨截肢的个体可以参加残疾人冲浪比赛。有tfa的冲浪者可以在有假体的情况下站立或不带假体的情况下跪着比赛。

ABSTRACT Introduction Bilateral upper-limb loss (Bil UL Loss) is perhaps the greatest challenge for upper-limb prosthetic care, now even more than ever as we witness the increase of sepsis as a cause of limb loss. Methods This small-n survey has recruited 28 individuals with Bil UL Loss, 27 of whom are prosthesis wearers. Twelve of the 28 lost four limbs to sepsis; 17 of the 27 prosthesis wearers use body-powered hooks, six use electric hooks, and four use electric hands as their dominant terminal device (within this report, dominant side is the wearer's postloss dominant side, i.e., the side the subject used more frequently). The survey used person-to-person interviews to compile the broad data about how tasks are performed, how many tasks are performed, whether two prostheses are used, and other details. Results Users of each type of prosthesis demonstrate a high level of function. Electric hook users scored slightly higher in number of tasks and other measures. However, no outcomes were significant statistically, except the use of the dominant side prosthesis, which was three times higher than the nondominant side usage. Users identified a dozen categories for desired improvements, with greater dependability and greater grip security as the most commonly requested. Discussion The information will be useful for not only for clinical guidance, but hopefully also to help guide the development of future prosthetic devices, considering that the disabled community has called for prioritizing the actual needs and desires of the consumers to guide future developments. Conclusions The planning and execution of this small-scale study could be a model for other groups to collect useful outcomes data without requiring a research grant, without large institutional oversight, and by only a small group of interested professionals with access to a reasonable number of individuals with a severe disability. Clinical Relevance All caregivers of individuals with bilateral limb loss could benefit from both the data presented and the challenges revealed by this survey group. Future prosthetic designs as well as training and other therapies will also hopefully benefit from the needs expressed directly by these consumers.
摘要简介双侧上肢丢失(Bil UL loss)可能是上肢假肢护理面临的最大挑战,现在甚至比以往任何时候都更大,因为我们目睹了败血症作为肢体丢失原因的增加。方法本次小n调查共招募了28名Bil UL丢失患者,其中27人为假体佩戴者。28人中有12人因败血症失去四肢;27名假肢佩戴者中有17人使用身体供电的挂钩,6人使用电动挂钩,4人使用电动手作为主要终端设备(在本报告中,主要侧是佩戴者丢失后的主要侧,即受试者更频繁使用的侧)。这项调查使用了人与人之间的访谈来汇编关于如何执行任务、执行了多少任务、是否使用了两个假肢以及其他细节的广泛数据。结果每种假体的使用者都表现出较高的功能水平。电钩用户在任务数量和其他指标上得分略高。然而,除了使用优势侧假体外,没有任何结果具有统计学意义,优势侧假体的使用量是非优势侧假体使用量的三倍。用户确定了十几个需要改进的类别,其中最常见的要求是更高的可靠性和更高的抓握安全性。讨论考虑到残疾人社区呼吁优先考虑消费者的实际需求和愿望,以指导未来的发展,这些信息不仅有助于临床指导,而且有望帮助指导未来假肢设备的开发。结论这项小规模研究的规划和执行可以成为其他群体收集有用结果数据的一个模式,而无需研究拨款,无需大型机构监督,也只有一小群感兴趣的专业人员可以接触到合理数量的严重残疾者。临床相关性所有双侧肢体丧失患者的护理人员都可以从该调查组提供的数据和揭示的挑战中受益。未来的假肢设计、训练和其他疗法也有望从这些消费者直接表达的需求中受益。

ABSTRACT Introduction This article describes the benefit of combining a thoracic lumbar sacral orthosis (TLSO) and a hip spica orthosis (HSO) to create a sitting frame for children with emerging neck and trunk control who cannot sit by themselves. Materials and Methods A child with motor disabilities who cannot sit independently benefits from a custom floor sitting frame. The sitting frame's thoracic lumbar sacral orthosis and hip spica orthosis are separate entities but are used together to allow a child to sit on the floor independently. Although the presented child does not need added head support, the TLSO-HSO sitting frame can be fabricated with cervical support. This sitting frame has a versatile joint allowing for movement between upright sitting and sitting with upper-limb weight bearing. The frame's hip joint can also be locked in different degrees of tilt. The described child uses the frame in a locked 90° upright position. Evaluation, fitting, fabrication, and reimbursement submission is explained. Conclusions Floor sitting is an important developmental milestone. Available equipment, such as floor sitters and compression garments intended to support a child in sitting, fail to sufficiently support all children with significant motor disabilities who have floor sitting goals. The TLSO-HSO sitting frame is a custom-made floor sitter that may give children with significant motor disabilities who have emerging neck and trunk control the support they need to independently sit on the floor. This orthosis has the potential to improve the lives of many children and their families as it can be used in both home and classroom settings and can give children with significant motor disabilities the opportunity to use their hands freely to play and to interact with peers during floor play time. Clinical Relevance Some children with severe motor disabilities cannot floor sit independently. The present study describes a new floor sitting frame that closes the gap between available products designed as these products do not meet the needs of all children with severe motor disabilities who have emerging neck and trunk control.
摘要简介本文介绍了将胸腰椎骶骨矫形器(TLSO)和髋关节骶骨矫治器(HSO)相结合,为无法独自坐着的颈部和躯干出现控制的儿童创造一个坐架的好处。材料和方法一个不能独立坐着的运动障碍儿童可以从定制的地板坐架中受益。坐架的胸腰椎骶骨矫形器和髋棘矫形器是单独的实体,但它们一起使用,可以让孩子独立坐在地板上。虽然所介绍的儿童不需要额外的头部支撑,但TLSO-HSO坐架可以用颈部支撑制作。这种坐架有一个多功能的关节,可以在直立坐和上肢负重坐之间移动。框架的髋关节也可以锁定在不同的倾斜度。所描述的儿童在锁定的90°直立位置使用框架。对评估、装配、制造和报销提交进行了说明。结论坐地板是一个重要的发展里程碑。现有的设备,如地板保姆和用于支撑儿童坐着的紧身衣,无法充分支撑所有有地板坐着目标的严重运动障碍儿童。TLSO-HSO坐架是一种定制的地板保姆,可以为患有严重运动障碍的颈部和躯干出现问题的儿童提供独立坐在地板上所需的支撑。这种矫形器有可能改善许多儿童及其家人的生活,因为它可以在家庭和课堂环境中使用,并可以让患有严重运动障碍的儿童有机会在地板游戏时间自由使用双手玩耍并与同伴互动。临床相关性一些患有严重运动障碍的儿童不能独立坐地板。本研究描述了一种新的落地式坐架,它缩小了现有产品之间的差距,因为这些产品不能满足所有患有严重运动障碍的儿童的需求,这些儿童正在出现颈部和躯干控制。

ABSTRACT Introduction In chronic low back pain, the use of lumbar orthosis treatment is not part of general recommendations due to a lack of supporting evidence. However, interest in segmental immobilization at the mechanical and postural level is still current in practice, with, however, the belief of negative effects on muscular capacity. The objective of our study was to assess the evolution of muscle capacity after wearing custom-made rigid corset in patients with chronic low back pain. Materials and Methods This is a multicenter study in patients with chronic low back pain, for which the wearing of a rigid postural immobilization corset for 3 months was prescribed. Twenty-two patients completed all follow-up assessments at baseline, 45 days, and 3 months. Evaluations included Biering-Sørensen test, Shirado test, chair test, hand/ground test, lateral inclination test, Quebec scale, and visual analog scale. Results The results revealed a significant improvement of Biering-Sørensen test after 3 months (37.0 ± 53.6 seconds at D0, 41.3 ± 51.7 seconds at D45, and 53.2 ± 60.5 seconds at D90; P < 0.05), in hand/ground distance (21.8 ± 28.5 cm at D0, 15.5 ± 17.8 cm at D45, and 12.2 ± 15.5 cm at D90; P < 0.05), in disability based on the Quebec questionnaire (0.52 ± 0.21 at D0, 0.45 ± 0.19 at D45, and 0.39 ± 0.19 at D90; P < 0.05), and significant reductions in visual analog scale measures of pain (6.0 ± 1.7 at D0, 3.7 ± 1.7 at D45, and 2.7 ± 1.9 at D90; P < 0.05). Conclusions This study shows that the wearing of a rigid orthosis does not alter the muscular endurance capacities of the trunk muscles. In view of the results, wearing a rigid orthosis may be an alternative to treating chronic low back pain. It does not induce muscle loss and may even contribute to motor disinhibition, resulting in improved spinal mobility and functional abilities. Clinical Relevance The common belief that wearing a spinal orthosis leads to muscle loss should no longer be an obstacle to its prescription since it helps to maintain muscle capacity and reduces pain.
摘要引言在慢性腰痛中,由于缺乏支持性证据,使用腰椎矫形器治疗不是一般建议的一部分。然而,目前在实践中,人们对机械和姿势水平的节段固定仍然感兴趣,然而,人们认为这会对肌肉能力产生负面影响。我们研究的目的是评估慢性腰痛患者穿着定制的紧身胸衣后肌肉能力的演变。材料和方法这是一项针对慢性腰痛患者的多中心研究,要求患者佩戴刚性体位固定胸衣3个月。22名患者在基线、45天和3个月完成了所有随访评估。评估包括Biering-Sørensen测试、Shirado测试、椅子测试、手/地测试、横向倾斜测试、魁北克量表和视觉模拟量表。结果Biering-Sørensen试验在3个月后(D0时37.0±53.6秒,D45时41.3±51.7秒,D90时53.2±60.5秒;P<0.05),手/地距离(D0处21.8±28.5厘米,D45处15.5±17.8厘米,D90处12.2±15.5厘米;P<0.05)有显著改善,基于魁北克问卷的残疾(D0时为0.52±0.21,D45时为0.45±0.19,D90时为0.39±0.19;P<0.05),疼痛的视觉模拟量表测量值显著降低(D0时为6.0±1.7,D45时为3.7±1.7,D90时为2.7±1.9;P<0.05)。结论本研究表明,佩戴刚性矫形器不会改变躯干肌肉的肌肉耐力。从结果来看,佩戴刚性矫形器可能是治疗慢性腰痛的一种替代方案。它不会引起肌肉损失,甚至可能有助于运动去抑制,从而提高脊柱的灵活性和功能能力。临床相关性佩戴脊柱矫形器会导致肌肉损失的普遍看法不应再成为其处方的障碍,因为它有助于保持肌肉能力并减轻疼痛。

However, interest in segmental immobilization at the mechanical and postural level is still current in practice, with, however, the belief of negative effects on muscular capacity. The objective of our study was to assess the evolution of muscle capacity after wearing custom-made rigid corset in patients with chronic low back pain. Materials and Methods This is a multicenter study in patients with chronic low back pain, for which the wearing of a rigid postural immobilization corset for 3 months was prescribed. Twenty-two patients completed all follow-up assessments at baseline, 45 days, and 3 months. Evaluations included Biering-Sørensen test, Shirado test, chair test, hand/ground test, lateral inclination test, Quebec scale, and visual analog scale. Results The results revealed a significant improvement of Biering-Sørensen test after 3 months (37.0 ± 53.6 seconds at D0, 41.3 ± 51.7 seconds at D45, and 53.2 ± 60.5 seconds at D90; P < 0.05), in hand/ground distance (21.8 ± 28.5 cm at D0, 15.5 ± 17.8 cm at D45, and 12.2 ± 15.5 cm at D90; P < 0.05), in disability based on the Quebec questionnaire (0.52 ± 0.21 at D0, 0.45 ± 0.19 at D45, and 0.39 ± 0.19 at D90; P < 0.05), and significant reductions in visual analog scale measures of pain (6.0 ± 1.7 at D0, 3.7 ± 1.7 at D45, and 2.7 ± 1.9 at D90; P < 0.05). Conclusions This study shows that the wearing of a rigid orthosis does not alter the muscular endurance capacities of the trunk muscles. In view of the results, wearing a rigid orthosis may be an alternative to treating chronic low back pain. It does not induce muscle loss and may even contribute to motor disinhibition, resulting in improved spinal mobility and functional abilities. Clinical Relevance The common belief that wearing a spinal orthosis leads to muscle loss should no longer be an obstacle to its prescription since it helps to maintain muscle capacity and reduces pain.","PeriodicalId":53702,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics","volume":"35 1","pages":"19 - 24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42210174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Introduction Transfemoral amputations are known to compromise balance control capabilities, thus increasing the probability of falling. Current research in robotic prostheses is exploring novel strategies to assess the risk of fall and, if required, enable assistive strategies to promote balance recovery. Objectives The aim of this study was to identify a set of biomechanical variables associated with fall risk and fall detection in people with transfemoral amputation (pwTFA), which can be potentially assessed through the next generation of sensorized powered prostheses. Study Design The study design was scoping review. Methods Screening of the literature (CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) carried out in February 2020 (quality assessment of retained articles through Downs and Black checklist; retrieved information: measurement tests and biomechanical variables). Results From the initial 595 documents, only 25 citations met eligibility criteria. The pwTFA's fall risk assessment and fall detection are usually carried out by using different measurement tests. Conclusions Two classes of biomechanical markers for fall risk assessment have the potential to be incorporated in self-contained transfemoral powered prostheses equipped with sensory network and suitable computational capabilities. The first consists of kinematic/kinetic variables of some prosthesis components (e.g., foot acceleration, force loading the pylon, knee angle) to detect either an abrupt lack of balance or a fall-related occurrence as a consequence of knee buckling, slipping, or tripping. The second involves implementing automatic procedures to allow pwTFA to routinely carry out clinical tests, such as the timed up and go test and/or the Four Square Step Test to monitor the decline of sensory motor capabilities, likely documenting an increased fall risk. Clinical Relevance The next generation of powered prostheses could both monitor decline on neuromuscular capabilities and gather early signs of an acute lack of balance based on a suitable network of sensors on board. This approach is expected to prevent the fall risk in pwTFA.
摘要引言众所周知,经股截肢会损害平衡控制能力,从而增加跌倒的概率。目前对机器人假肢的研究正在探索新的策略来评估跌倒的风险,并在需要时启用辅助策略来促进平衡恢复。目的本研究的目的是确定一组与经股截肢(pwTFA)患者跌倒风险和跌倒检测相关的生物力学变量,这些变量可以通过下一代传感动力假肢进行评估。研究设计研究设计为范围审查。方法对2020年2月进行的文献筛选(CINAHL、PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science)(通过Downs和Black检查表对保留文章进行质量评估;检索信息:测量测试和生物力学变量)。结果在最初的595篇文献中,只有25篇引文符合资格标准。pwTFA的跌倒风险评估和跌倒检测通常通过使用不同的测量测试来进行。结论两类用于跌倒风险评估的生物力学标志物有可能被纳入配备有感觉网络和适当计算能力的自给式经股动力假体中。第一个由一些假体组件的运动学/动力学变量组成(例如,脚加速度、支架上的力负载、膝盖角度),以检测由于膝盖屈曲、滑动或绊倒而导致的突然缺乏平衡或跌倒相关事件。第二个涉及实施自动程序,使pwTFA能够定期进行临床测试,如定时即用测试和/或四步测试,以监测感觉运动能力的下降,可能会记录跌倒风险的增加。临床相关性下一代电动假肢既可以监测神经肌肉能力的下降,也可以根据船上合适的传感器网络收集急性缺乏平衡的早期迹象。这种方法有望防止pwTFA中的跌倒风险。

ABSTRACT Introduction The aim of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Satisfaction with Prosthesis Questionnaire (SAT-PRO) into German and to evaluate its validity and reliability. Materials and Methods The 2-fold forward and backward translations were carried out according to the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) guidelines. Subsequently, the German version of the SAT-PRO was administered to 68 patients with major lower-limb amputation (LLA) fitted with a prosthesis. The internal consistency, floor and ceiling effects, item-to-total correlation, and test-retest reliability were determined. In addition, the standard error of the mean (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC) were calculated. Convergent construct validity was assessed by correlation to a Numerical Rating Scale for Satisfaction Level (NRS-SAT), the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), the Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI), and the Medicare Functional Classification Level (K-Levels). Descriptive subgroup analysis included levels of amputation (transtibial vs. transfemoral persons with amputations) and user type (long-term vs. subacute users). Results The mean SAT-PRO total score was 32.27 ± 6.89 (77.6%). Internal consistency was high (Cronbach α = 0.88), and reproducibility demonstrated excellent findings with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1) of 0.90 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84–0.94). Floor or ceiling effects were not detected. Convergent construct validity indicated a strong correlation to the NRS-SAT (r = 0.89), K-Levels (r = 0.66), and RMI (r = 0.52, all with P < 0.001). Moderate to high correlations were shown to all eight domains of the SF-36 (in a range of r = 0.55 [physical function] to r = 0.39 [mental health], all with P < 0.001). MDC was 2.32 (MDC% = 3.4%). Conclusions The translation according to ISPOR guidelines and cross-cultural adaptation of the SAT-PRO into German were successfully conducted in the pilot study. The psychometric testing showed high reliability and validity of the German version of the SAT-PRO. Hence, it can be used as an outcome measure to assess a patient's satisfaction with prosthesis in a German-speaking population. Clinical Relevance Statement The SAT-PRO can make an important contribution to the treatment of patients with major LLA. The use of objective measurement parameters and guideline-based translation should be applied to increase the validity and comparability of the data.
摘要引言本研究的目的是将《假肢满意度调查表》(SAT-PRO)翻译成德语并进行跨文化改编,并评估其有效性和可靠性。材料和方法根据国际药物经济学和结果研究学会(ISPOR)的指导方针进行2倍的正向和反向翻译。随后,对68名装有假肢的严重下肢截肢(LLA)患者使用了德国版SAT-PRO。确定了内部一致性、下限和上限效应、项目与总相关性和重测可靠性。此外,还计算了平均值的标准误差(SEM)和最小可检测变化(MDC)。通过与满意度数字评定量表(NRS-SAT)、36项简式健康调查(SF-36)、Rivermead流动性指数(RMI)和医疗保险功能分类水平(K-Levels)的相关性来评估聚合结构的有效性。描述性亚组分析包括截肢水平(经胫骨与经股截肢患者)和使用者类型(长期使用者与亚急性使用者)。结果平均SAT-PRO总分为32.27±6.89(77.6%)。内部一致性高(Cronbachα=0.88),再现性良好,组内相关系数(ICC2,1)为0.90(95%置信区间[CI],0.84-0.94)。未检测到地板或天花板效应。收敛结构有效性表明与NRS-SAT(r=0.89)、K-水平(r=0.66)、,和RMI(r=0.52,均P<0.001)。SF-36的所有八个领域都显示出中高度相关性(在r=0.55[身体功能]到r=0.39[心理健康]的范围内,均P>0.001)。MDC为2.32(MDC%=3.4%)学习心理测量测试显示德国版SAT-PRO具有较高的信度和有效性。因此,它可以作为评估德语人群中患者对假肢满意度的结果指标。临床相关性声明SAT-PRO可以对严重LLA患者的治疗做出重要贡献。应采用客观测量参数和基于准则的翻译,以提高数据的有效性和可比性。

ABSTRACT Introduction The provision of orthoses is a specialized practice within healthcare that requires collaboration among professionals for successful treatment outcomes. Although orthotists are an integral part of the process, the role of the orthotists may not be commonly understood or appreciated. Among the rehabilitative health care team, physical therapists (PTs) and orthotists are especially aligned, with overlapping roles in each profession's scope of practice. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional survey was distributed to members of the health care team, including certified prosthetist orthotists and PTs. Chi-squared tests were calculated to compare PT and orthotist responses to a question regarding role responsibilities of each team member. We hypothesized that there would be disagreement among the professions as to which tasks orthotists are responsible for performing. Results The results of this study suggest that PTs and orthotists agree that orthotists are responsible for recommending a patient-specific orthosis. Interestingly, PTs did not identify orthotists as a team member responsible for performing patient assessment and evaluation tasks, despite these tasks being a key driver of patient-specific orthosis recommendations. Conclusions Interprofessional education to increase knowledge of orthotic management principles among PTs may improve collaboration and communication within the health care team. Clinical Relevance The present study identified a potential gap in PT awareness of the scope of practice and training of certified orthotists. Provision of optimal patient management requires clear understanding of respective roles and responsibilities of the health care team.
摘要简介矫形器的提供是医疗保健领域的一项专业实践,需要专业人员之间的合作才能获得成功的治疗结果。尽管矫正师是这个过程中不可或缺的一部分,但矫正师的作用可能并不被普遍理解或认可。在康复医疗团队中,物理治疗师(PT)和矫正师尤其一致,在每个职业的实践范围中角色重叠。材料和方法将横断面调查分发给卫生保健团队的成员,包括经认证的假肢矫正师和PT。计算卡方检验,比较PT和矫正师对每个团队成员角色责任问题的回答。我们假设,在矫正师负责执行哪些任务的问题上,各专业之间会存在分歧。结果本研究的结果表明,PT和矫形器专家一致认为矫形器医生有责任推荐患者专用矫形器。有趣的是,尽管这些任务是患者特定矫形器建议的关键驱动因素,但PT并没有将矫形器医生确定为负责执行患者评估和评估任务的团队成员。结论通过跨专业教育提高PT对矫正管理原则的认识,可以改善医疗团队内部的协作和沟通。临床相关性本研究确定了PT对认证矫正师的实践和培训范围的认识存在潜在差距。提供最佳的患者管理需要清楚地了解医疗团队各自的角色和责任。

ABSTRACT Introduction Research is still limited on the impacts of robotic arms in improving independent living and social participation of individuals with upper-limb disabilities, and several knowledge gaps remain. This study aims to investigate the impacts of the JACO robotic arm on individuals with upper-limb impairments due to a neuromuscular disease. Methods For this prospective study, participants used the robotic arm in their daily life for a 2-month period. The effectiveness of the robotic arm was objectively observed during activities performed in a controlled environment. The perception of the users and of their main family caregivers was also documented. Finally, the nature and importance of activities carried out with the robotic arm in a community-living environment were explored. Results Participants' abilities with the JACO robotic arm improved continuously during the trial duration. Participants actively took part in more life habits, perceived fewer difficulties, and were more satisfied with their social participation. Despite these findings, very few life habits could be performed completely independently, limiting the impacts on global caregivers' burden. Conclusions Even if participants encountered some difficulties, this study demonstrates short-term benefits of the robotic arm for individuals with upper-limb impairments due to a neuromuscular disorder. Future studies should mainly focus on the psychosocial, economic, and occupational long-term impacts of the robotic arm. The development of services to assist the integration of such devices in people's lives could optimize their impacts. Clinical Relevance The results of this study contribute to the body of knowledge of clinicians for the prescription of a robotic arm.
摘要引言关于机械臂在改善上肢残疾人独立生活和社会参与方面的影响的研究仍然有限,并且存在一些知识空白。本研究旨在研究JACO机械臂对因神经肌肉疾病导致上肢损伤的个体的影响。方法在这项前瞻性研究中,参与者在日常生活中使用机械臂,为期两个月。在受控环境中进行活动时,可以客观地观察到机械臂的有效性。还记录了使用者及其主要家庭照顾者的看法。最后,探讨了在社区生活环境中使用机械臂进行活动的性质和重要性。结果在试验期间,参与者使用JACO机械臂的能力不断提高。参与者积极参与更多的生活习惯,感受到的困难更少,对自己的社会参与更满意。尽管有这些发现,但很少有生活习惯可以完全独立地进行,从而限制了对全球护理人员负担的影响。结论即使参与者遇到了一些困难,这项研究也证明了机械臂对因神经肌肉疾病导致上肢损伤的个体的短期益处。未来的研究应主要关注机械臂的心理社会、经济和职业长期影响。开发有助于将此类设备融入人们生活的服务可以优化其影响。临床相关性这项研究的结果有助于临床医生对机械臂处方的了解。

ABSTRACT Introduction Typically, polycentric prosthetic knees have been designed with a focus on improved performance during stance. This study analyzes the influence of geometric aspects such as linkage dimensions of the polycentric knees and anterior-posterior (A/P) alignment on the swing phase of walking. Such a study would enable the development of polycentric knees with improved performance during both stance and swing phases. Methods A simulation-based approach was used to analyze the influence of geometric aspects on swing dynamics. A newly developed four-bar knee called IITM polycentric knee (IPK) was used as a baseline prosthesis. First, the swing was simulated with the baseline prosthesis. The IPK in the lower limb was then replaced with the linkage dimensions of four other commercial polycentric knees (Ottobock's 3R36, 3R55, and 3R70 and Ohio Willow Wood's Pendulum knee) for the simulation of swing phase. Effect of A/P alignment was analyzed by translating the socket adapter of the IPK along the A/P axis in the baseline prosthesis, which has the effect of moving the knee and foot in the opposite direction. A maximum of 20 mm translation of the socket adapter was applied on either side of its base location in the lower-limb model. The gait parameters from the simulations and the centrode of different polycentric knees were then analyzed to understand how linkage dimensions and A/P translations of the knee and foot affect the swing dynamics. Results All four-bar knees without extension assists extended to less than 6° before heel contact, which is significantly lower than the 24° obtained for a single-axis knee in a previous study. The swing performances of the different four-bar knees studied here were found to depend on their centrode.

摘要:通常,多中心假膝的设计重点是提高站立时的表现。本研究分析了几何方面,如多中心膝关节的联动尺寸和前后(A/P)对齐对步行摆动阶段的影响。这样的研究将使多中心膝关节的发展在站立和挥拍阶段都有更好的表现。方法采用仿真方法分析几何因素对摆振动力学的影响。一种新开发的四杆膝关节称为IITM多中心膝关节(IPK)被用作基线假体。首先,用基线假体模拟摆动。然后将下肢的IPK替换为其他四个商用多中心膝关节(Ottobock的3R36、3R55和3R70以及Ohio Willow Wood的Pendulum膝关节)的连杆尺寸,以模拟摆动阶段。通过在基线假体中沿A/P轴平移IPK的套筒适配器,分析A/P对齐的效果,该套筒适配器具有反方向移动膝关节和足的效果。在下肢模型中,插座适配器的基座位置两侧最大平移20mm。分析了仿真所得的步态参数和不同多中心膝关节的中心,了解了膝关节和足部的连杆尺寸和A/P平移对摆动动力学的影响。结果所有无延伸辅助的四杆膝关节在与脚跟接触前均延伸至小于6°,明显低于先前研究中单轴膝关节的24°。研究发现,不同的四杆膝盖的摆动表现取决于它们的中心。在摆动时,3R55和IPK的瞬时中心(ICs)相对位置更优越于膝关节解剖中心,使膝关节伸展和足部间隙优于其他膝关节。膝关节和足部的A/P平移显著影响足部间隙。与后移20mm相比,前移20mm使脚趾和脚跟间隙分别增加1.6 cm和1.4 cm。结论本研究表明,多中心双膝在姿态稳定性和蹬离性方面通常比单轴双膝表现更好,在挥拍过程中,在与脚跟接触前的膝关节伸展和整个挥拍过程中的足部间隙方面也表现良好。由于IC在多中心膝关节中的优越位置,延长了小腿和足部重量的力矩臂是多中心膝关节摆动性能改善的原因。插座适配器的适当位置会影响A/P对中,因此在摆动过程中脚的间隙不会受到影响。从研究中获得的见解将有助于开发更简单的多中心膝关节,如果按照推荐的方法进行正确的对齐,可以在没有任何延伸辅助的情况下完全伸展。该研究提供了对多中心膝关节置放效果的更好理解,以及在行走摆动阶段对延伸辅助的需求,这可以帮助临床医生更好地为假体使用者选择合适的膝关节及其对齐。

This study analyzes the influence of geometric aspects such as linkage dimensions of the polycentric knees and anterior-posterior (A/P) alignment on the swing phase of walking. Such a study would enable the development of polycentric knees with improved performance during both stance and swing phases. Methods A simulation-based approach was used to analyze the influence of geometric aspects on swing dynamics. A newly developed four-bar knee called IITM polycentric knee (IPK) was used as a baseline prosthesis. First, the swing was simulated with the baseline prosthesis. The IPK in the lower limb was then replaced with the linkage dimensions of four other commercial polycentric knees (Ottobock's 3R36, 3R55, and 3R70 and Ohio Willow Wood's Pendulum knee) for the simulation of swing phase. Effect of A/P alignment was analyzed by translating the socket adapter of the IPK along the A/P axis in the baseline prosthesis, which has the effect of moving the knee and foot in the opposite direction. A maximum of 20 mm translation of the socket adapter was applied on either side of its base location in the lower-limb model. The gait parameters from the simulations and the centrode of different polycentric knees were then analyzed to understand how linkage dimensions and A/P translations of the knee and foot affect the swing dynamics. Results All four-bar knees without extension assists extended to less than 6° before heel contact, which is significantly lower than the 24° obtained for a single-axis knee in a previous study. The swing performances of the different four-bar knees studied here were found to depend on their centrode. The instant centers (ICs) of the 3R55 and IPK, which were comparatively located more superior to the anatomical knee center during swing, enabled better knee extension and foot clearance than other knees. A/P translation of the knee and foot significantly affected the foot clearance.
