摘要: Abstract Background. Persons with unilateral, lower-extremity amputation sometimes develop osteoarthritis in the intact limb. The purpose of this study was to investigate gait mechanics and bone mineral density trans-tibial amputees test hypotheses that limb knee hip will have larger frontal plane net joint moments than prosthetic side limbs control subjects. Methods. Proximal tibia femoral neck were measured from nine subjects a age, gender, mass matched Findings. amputee proximal peak internal abduction moment 45% ( P = 0.001) 56% = 0.028) greater, respectively, side. 12% = 0.095) 33% = 0.03) moderately knee, while similar. Interpretation. Elevated suggest potential exists for premature degradation. Measuring may be important tools assessing health persons amputation.
