Impact of prostheses on quality of life and functional status of transfemoral amputees in Tanzania

African Journal of Disability, 2021
Background: The rise of diabetes and traumatic injury has increased limb loss-related morbidity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite this, the majority of amputees in LMICs have no access to prosthetic devices, and the magnitude of ...

Continuous relative phases of walking with an articulated passive ankle–foot prosthesis in individuals with a unilateral transfemoral and transtibial amputation: an explorative case–control study

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2023
Background A mechanical ankle–foot prosthesis (Talaris Demonstrator) was developed to improve prosthetic gait in people with a lower-limb amputation. This study aims to evaluate the Talaris Demonstrator (TD) during level walking by mapping coordination ...

Mechanical work performed by individual limbs of transfemoral amputees during step-to-step transitions: Effect of walking velocity [PDF]

, 2014
The greater metabolic demand during the gait of people with a transfemoral amputation limits their autonomy and walking velocity. Major modifications of the kinematic and kinetic patterns of transfemoral amputee gait quantified using gait analysis may ...

Developing core sets for persons following amputation based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health as a way to specify functioning [PDF]

, 2009
Amputation is a common late stage sequel of peripheral vascular disease and diabetes or a sequel of accidental trauma, civil unrest and landmines. The functional impairments affect many facets of life including but not limited to: Mobility; activities of
