From: Evaluation of new suspension system for limb prosthetics
Subject no. | Age | Height (cm) | Mass (kg) | Level of amputation | Cause of amputation | Time since amputation | Stump length (cm) | Mobility grade | Stump appearance and problem with own prosthesis |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 39 | 170 | 65 | TT | Trauma | 5 | 14 | K4 | Bony and conical in shape. The bony end of the residual limb was painful during the swing phase of gait. He was using pin/lock system prior to the study. |
2 | 23 | 167 | 82 | TT | Trauma | 3 | 15 | K3 | Cylindrical in shape. He was using PTB socket with Pelite (soft liner). He encountered numerous problems with prosthesis, such as pain, wound at the end of his stump and too much movement (pistoning) within the socket. Most of the weight was centralized at the end of the socket. |
3 | 51 | 172 | 67 | TT | Trauma | 5 | 14 | K3 | Bony and conical in shape. The bony end of the residual limb and fibular head were painful during the swing phase of gait and while wearing the prosthesis. He was using pin/lock system prior to the study. |
4 | 40 | 180 | 95 | TT | Diabetes | 7 | 16 | K2 | Cylindrical in shape. He was using pin/lock system prior to the study. He encountered difficulties in aligning the pin during wearing the prosthesis. He experienced a disorder in his left hand. |
5 | 75 | 182 | 75 | TT | Diabetes | 8 | 13 | K2 | Bony and conical in shape. The bony end of the residual limb was painful during the swing phase of gait. He was using pin/lock system prior to the study. |
6 | 45 | 185 | 84 | TT | Trauma | 26 | 12 | K3 | Short stump. He was using PTB socket with Pelite (soft liner). He had pain at the end of stump and too much movement (pistoning) within the socket. Most of his weight was centralized at the end of the socket. |
7 | 41 | 173 | 95 | TT | Trauma | 5 | 14 | K3 | Cylindrical in shape. He was using pin/lock system prior to the study. He did not have any problem with his prosthesis. |
8 | 34 | 175 | 78 | TT | Trauma | 10 | 28 | K3 | Cylindrical in shape. He did not feel any pain at the stump. He was using pin/lock system prior to the study. |
9 | 32 | 163 | 72 | TT | Trauma | 18 | 25 | K2 | Conical in shape. Bony prominence was evident at the end of his stump. He did not feel any pain at the stump. He was using pin/lock system prior to the study. |
