Diz altı amputelerde Türkiye'de sıklıkla kullanılan protez ayakların yürüyüş ve ambulasyon aktiviteleri üzerine etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, unilateral diz altı amputelerde üç farklı protez ayağın yürüyüş, ampute tarafa ağırlık aktarma, ambulasyon aktiviteleri ve rahatlık hissi üzerine olan etkilerini karşılaştırmak amacı ile planlandı. Gereç ve yöntem: 20 unilateral diz altı ampute SACH, dinamik ve konvansiyonel ayaklar ile yürüyüşün zaman mesafe karakteristikleri, ambulasyon aktiviteleri, protezli tarafta taşınan vücut ağırlık yüzdesi ve rahatlık hissi açısından değerlendirildiler. Sonuçlar: Protez ayaklar arasında ampute ve sağlam taraf adım uzunlukları ve destek yüzeyi açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Yürüme ahengi ve yürüme hızları açısından SACH-dinamik ve dinamik-konvansiyonel ayaklar arasında anlamlı fark bulundu (p
