Load carriage influences intact limb knee loading estimate associated with osteoarthritis in individuals with transtibial amputation
Background
Load carriage can exacerbate the elevated intact limb knee loading in individuals with transtibial amputation, potentially contributing to osteoarthritis. Prosthetic foot mechanical properties like push-off power have the potential to reduce this elevated knee loading. This study investigated how load carriage position and prosthetic foot type affect intact limb knee loading measures for these individuals.
Methods
Twelve participants with unilateral transtibial amputation were recruited. Intact limb external knee adduction and flexion moments were analyzed, with prosthetic push-off power and work quantified for effects on first peak knee adduction moment. A linear mixed-effects regression evaluated the effects of load position and prosthetic foot on these metrics.
Findings
Participants exhibited the smallest first peak knee adduction moment and impulse with the intact-side load condition, followed by the back load and front load conditions, with the prosthetic-side load condition having the highest magnitude (20–35 % increase). However, we found no significant differences in these metrics by prosthetic foot. Additionally, load position and prosthetic foot did not significantly affect peak knee flexion moment. Only a negative trend toward correlation (P = 0.089) was observed between first peak knee adduction moment and prosthetic push-off work in the back load condition.
Interpretation
Intact-side load carriage may be more clinically beneficial for mitigating the risk of increased intact limb knee loading. Further, load carriage strategy affects intact limb knee loading more than specific prosthetic foot type. These biomechanical findings can help guide rehabilitative load carriage strategies to minimize the elevated risk of knee osteoarthritis in individuals with transtibial amputation.
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.
