Diz üstü amputelerde hidrolik diz ekleminin enerji tüketimi, yürüyüş ve hasta memnuniyeti üzerine etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma diz üstü amputelerde hidrolik diz ekleminin enerji tüketimi, yürüyüş ve hasta memnuniyeti üzerine olan etkisini incelemek amacıyla planlandı. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya, amputasyon nedeni trafik kazası olan, yaş ortalamaları 22.70±9.4 yıl olan, daha önce mekanik diz eklemli, polyester quadrilateral soket ve dinamik ayaklı diz üstü protez kullanan toplam 10 olgu alındı. Olgulara hidrolik diz eklemli, akrilik quadrilateral soket ve dinamik ayaklı diz üstü protez yapıldı. Olgular her iki protezleri ile, Biodex Gait Trainer 2TM ile yürüyüş, 6 dakikalık yürüme testi ile enerji tüketimleri, Nottingham Sağlık Profili ile yaşam kalitesi, Berg denge skalası ile denge ve protez memnuniyet anketi (SATPRO) ile hasta memnuniyeti açısından değerlendirildiler. Sonuçlar: Elde edilen veriler göre olguların hidrolik diz eklemli protezleriyle normale daha yakın yürüdükleri gözlendi (p
