Abstract

Mobility level is considered the primary factor for determining the effectiveness of a prosthesis. This study aimed to establish whether mobility and quality of life (QoL) are improved with a microprocessor-controlled knee (MPK) compared with a non-microprocess-controlled knee (non-MPK). Participants who have undergone transfemoral amputation (TFA), aged between 20 and 60 years, and using prosthesis for at least 1 year were included in the study. Participants were divided into two groups according to the use of MPK (n = 35) and non-MPK (n = 28) prosthesis. The PLUS-M criteria was used to score mobility, while the Trinity Amputation and Prosthetic Experience Scales-TAPES was used for classifying QoL. Mobility was higher for MPK prosthesis compared with non-MPK (p < 0.05). Regarding QoL, while there was no difference between the groups for psychosocial adaptation sub-score (p > 0.05), but the group using MPK prosthesis were higher in terms of activity restriction and total TAPES score (p < 0.05). Our data shows that the type of knee joint used by participants with TFA has an effect on their QoL and mobility. Participants using MPK had better mobility, higher sub-scores related to activity restriction, and sub-scores of the QoL compared with non-MPK.

微处理器控制和机械膝关节假体对单侧经股截肢者活动能力和生活质量的影响。
活动水平被认为是决定假体有效性的主要因素。本研究旨在确定微处理器控制的膝关节(MPK)与非微处理器控制的膝关节(non-MPK)相比,是否能改善活动能力和生活质量(QoL)。接受过经股截肢(TFA),年龄在20 - 60岁之间,使用假体至少1年的参与者被纳入研究。根据使用MPK假体(n = 35)和非MPK假体(n = 28)将参与者分为两组。使用PLUS-M标准对活动能力进行评分,而使用Trinity截肢和假肢体验量表-磁带对生活质量进行分类。MPK假体组活动能力高于非MPK组(p < 0.05),但MPK假体组活动限制和总磁带评分高于非MPK组(p < 0.05)
