Hagberg and M. Uden Abstract This is the first study to report on hip range ofmotion (ROM) among active prosthesis users, whenwearing and not wearing a trans-femoral socket prosthesis and to compare with individuals rehabilitated with an osseointegrated bone-anchored prosthesis. In addition, discomfort when sitting with the prosthesis is reported in both groups. The study group all had a non-vascular amputation and were divided into those supplied with a socket prosthesis (S group) (n=43, mean age 51 years, 74 % men) or a bone-anchored prosthesis (OI group) (n=20, mean age 46 years, 75 % men). Active hip ROM was measured with a goniometer, and self-reported problems with discomfort when sitting were recorded. The hip motion decreased in all directions when wearing the socket prosthesis compared to without it (P5 0.001 for all directions), and 37 % of the subjects had less than 908 of hip flexion when wearing their prosthesis. Discomfort when sitting was reported among 44 % (n=19) in the S group and was more common among individuals with less than 908 of hip flexion motion (P=0.025). In the OI group, no restriction in hip motion was measured with the prosthesis, and no subject had less than 908 of flexion and 5 % (n=1) reported discomfort when sitting. This study shows that a trans-femoral prosthetic socket significantly reduces the ROM of the hip and that discomfort when sitting is common among individuals wearing such prostheses. Further, the study confirms that individuals using a bone-anchored prosthesis have no restricted hip motion with the prosthesis and report very few problems with discomfort when sitting Topics: Socket, osseointegration, trans-femoral prostheses, hip range of motion, sitting comfort Year: 2016 OAI identifier: oai:CiteSeerX.psu:10.1.1.984.6896 Provided by: CiteSeerX Download PDF: Sorry, we are unable to provide the full text but you may find it at the following location(s): http://poi.sagepub.com/content...
