Assessment of postural stability in patients with a transtibial amputation with various times of prosthesis use

Original language description

Postural confidence is an initial precondition for all activities within the activity of daily living. Subjects with lower limb amputation have, due to somatosensory loss of information from the lower limb, more difficult conditions for maintaining postural stability in comparison with healthy subjects. Early prosthetic fitting with prosthesis is crucial for functional, movement and mental state. The aim of this study was to asses the selected biomechanical parameters of standing stability in patients with a transtibial lower limb amputation with various times of prosthesis use. The next aim was to assess how the waiting time for the prosthesis fitting influences the standing stability in different situations. The tested group was made up of 21 patients (the average age was 64.4 ? 9.18 years) with a unilateral transtibial amputation. The reason for amputation was in the case of 12 tested patients a vascular disease, in 8 patients trauma and in one it was a tumor. The average length of
