Abstract

Lower limb fragility fractures require long-term rehabilitation and are also very expensive to treat. Clinically, early weight bearing and walking stability were reported as key measures of fracture restoration. This study introduces methods to numerically quantify these performance indices for a range of ankle and knee joint fractures. As a follow-up of initial treatment, experimental data was collected using force plates from 367 subjects divided into seven groups: ankle fracture (AF), lower leg ankle fracture (AL), calcaneus foot fracture (CF), knee tibia fracture (KF), knee patella fracture (KP), kneecap rupture (KR), and normal limb (NL). For each joint, data was analysed to evaluate intralimb and interlimb weight-bearing and walking stability for all fracture conditions. These thresholds were statistically compared with normal subjects. Some advantages of evaluating fracture restoration indices over the others include:

  • to quantify fracture restoration (weight-bearing, walking stability, and gait symmetry) using minimum setup and signal requirements.

  • to provide comprehensive tools to assess and overcome fracture-associated complications through a detailed preview of fractured limb functionality during subphases of a gait cycle.

  • in clinical research, such assessments are important as a reference to evaluate existing or new rehabilitative interventions.

量化下肢骨折后步态康复的方法
下肢脆性骨折需要长期的康复治疗,治疗费用也非常昂贵。据临床报道,早期负重和行走稳定性是衡量骨折恢复的关键指标。本研究介绍了对一系列踝关节和膝关节骨折的这些性能指标进行数值量化的方法。作为初始治疗的后续治疗,使用力板收集了 367 名受试者的实验数据,分为七组:踝关节骨折 (AF)、小腿踝关节骨折 (AL)、方形足骨折 (CF)、膝胫骨骨折 (KF)、膝髌骨骨折 (KP)、膝盖骨断裂 (KR) 和正常肢体 (NL)。对每个关节的数据进行分析,以评估所有骨折情况下的肢内和肢间负重及行走稳定性。这些阈值与正常人进行了统计比较。评估骨折复位指数的一些优势包括:-使用最少的设置和信号要求量化骨折复位(负重、行走稳定性和步态对称性);-通过详细预览步态周期子阶段的骨折肢体功能,提供评估和克服骨折相关并发症的综合工具;-在临床研究中,此类评估对于评估现有或新的康复干预措施非常重要。
