Influence of prosthetic foot selection on walking performance during various load carriage conditions
Background
Ambulatory individuals with lower limb amputations often face challenges with body support, body propulsion, and balance control. Carrying an infant, toddler, backpack, or other load can exacerbate these challenges and highlights the importance of prescribing the most suitable prosthetic foot. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of five different prosthetic feet on walking performance during various load carriage conditions.
Methods
Biomechanical data were collected from twelve participants wearing five different prosthetic feet (four passive, one powered) while walking with no added load and carrying a load of 13.6 kg in four different positions: posterior, anterior, prosthetic side, and intact side.
Findings
Based on our study population, a powered-ankle-foot offers additional body support when a load is carried posteriorly. If additional forward propulsion is needed while carrying a load anteriorly, a heel wedge is better than a stiffer foot. For individuals who may need additional sagittal plane balance control, no study foot was advantageous regardless of how the load was carried. For those who need additional frontal plane balance control during posterior load carriage, a heel wedge is better than a stiffer or powered foot. Lastly, the standard-of-care, heel wedge, and dual keel feet provided more frontal plane balance control than a powered foot when a load was carried anteriorly.
Interpretation
For individuals with lower limb amputation who carry loads, consideration of their preferred load carrying method may help select an appropriate prosthetic foot for body support, propulsion, and balance control.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
