CLIN PROSTH ORTHOT , 1985, vol. 9, n° 3, p. 28-36 Doc n°: 21579 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DF241 - MARCHE DE L'AMPUTE - ETUDES - REEDUCATION In summary, no important temporal, kinematic or kinetic differences were found during this single-subject comparison of an ISNY and a coventional rigid above-knee prosthetic socket. Indeed, we have speculated that these gait laboratory data may provide evidence of a functional advantage of the ISNY, with respect to stance phase duration and loading of the prosthesis. Therefore, given no functional disadvantage of the ISNY and given that the subject finds the ISNY to be significantly more comfortable, it may be concluded that the overall evidence favors use of the ISNY socket. Firm conclusions, however, must await further studies that compare comparably fitting ISNY and conventional sockets in larger groups of amputees. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 1985002456 |
