▼ Introduction: Disability following Lower Limb Amputation (LLA) is permanent and generally has an impact on the functional, psychological and social status of the individual. Quality of Life (QOL) is a subjective and multidimensional concept involving physical, emotional, functional and social domains. The loss of a limb may have a considerable impact on every aspect of a patient's QOL. Provision of better care for people with LLA begins with understanding the impact disability has on their QOL. Aim: The primary aim of this study was to determine the impact of LLA on QOL among disabled patients receiving rehabilitation services at the University Teaching Hospital (U.T.H) orthopedic workshop.Objectives: To establish the physical, psychological, social and environmental status of people with LLA, establish the factors influencing QOL in people with LLA and to establish the association between QOL status and demographic variables.Materials and methods: The study utilized a non-interventional, descriptive study design using quantitative methods. Data was collected using a 26-item WHOQOL-BREF instrument. It was self-administered for respondents who had sufficient ability but researcher-assisted and researcher-administered for most participants. Data was analyzed using the SPSS version 17. Descriptive statistics were used to report the level of QOL.Results: A total of 30 people participated in the study and the response rate was 100%. Among these, 60% were female and 40% were male. The age range of participants was 20-71 years with a mean and median age of 45 years. 53% were over the median age. The percentages of people with poor and good QOL were 60% and 40% respectively. Demographically participants who were younger than 45 years and employed had better QOL. Non-traumatic LLA, presence of co-morbidities, non-prosthesis use and dissatisfaction with a mobility aid were associated with poor QOL (p-values<0.05). Participants with lower scores of physical, psychological, social and environmental satisfaction had poor QOL. Factors with significant associations (p-value<0.05) with QOL included: age, employment status, co-morbidities, prosthesis use and satisfaction with mobility aid. Physical health, psychological well-being, social relationships and environmental satisfaction also influenced QOL.Conclusion: Generally, participants reported poor QOL. This was attributed to being female, being urban based, unemployed having a non-traumatic amputation and having a BKA (below knee amputation). Poor physical health predicted poor QOL due to old age, presence of co-morbidities and non use of prosthesis. Poor psychosocial well-being also predicted poor QOL due to shorter time passed since amputation, being unmarried and dissatisfaction with mobility aids. Participants dissatisfied with their environment had poor QOL. These factors predict outcome of QOL.

▼ A study to find out the indications and major lower limb amputations was done between October 1997 and April 1999 in the University Teaching Hospital (UTH). The aims and objectives of the study was:1.To determine the indications of amputations at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka. 2.To identify the common comphcations encountered in these amputees.3.To identify the problems associated with management of these amputees that lead to these complications and recommend ways of reducing these complications.This was a prospective study of 54 patients who underwent major lower limb amputations. The data required for study was obtained by administering a structured questionnaire. The data was analysed using EPI-info statistical software. From this study, it was found that the commonest indication for amputation was trauma in 17 (31.5%) patients and road traffic accidents were the major contributors to this trauma group in 12 patients (22%). The second commonest was dry gangrene in 12 patients (22%) followed by tumours and diabetes in 5 patients (9%) in each case. Others were bums 3 (5.5%), infections, tumours and snake bites.Also, from the study, it was observed that the majority of the stumps healed primarily before discharge in 21 (39%). However, the commonest complication was infection in 14 patients (26.0%)) and this lead to revision of stumps in 8 patients (15%). There were 7 mortalities, e of these were related to the primary pathology such as trauma and diabetes.Of the 8 patients who had revision of stumps six had below knee amputation, one above knee and needed a high above knee and one ray amputation needed a below knee. Given the fact that the commonest indication for amputation was trauma, a Chi-square test against the outcome was done with the P value 0.0000. This was less than 0.05 and was statistically significant. This means that the general trend in the outcome in the majority of the patients is primary wound healing before the patients are discharged. However, infection of the stump was the commonest complication.

▼ Numerous outcome measures are used to assess the functional status of individuals with lower-limb amputation. The multitude of available measures, combined with the multidimensional concept of functional status, complicates the selection of appropriate outcome measures for use with this population group. This thesis explored the relationships between a variety of outcome measures frequently used with lower-limb amputees, including quantitative gait analysis. It also developed methods for quantifying outcomes usually obtained from complex and costly technologies usingsimple and clinically appropriate measures. Eight unilateral, transfemoral amputees, twelve unilateral, transtibial amputees and 28 age- and gender- matched able-bodied controls completed the Short-Form 36, Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (only amputee groups), timed-up-and-go test (TUGT), six-minute walk test (6MWT), three-dimensional gait analysis, and energy expenditure analysis. Gait deviation was summarised effectively using gait summary measures derived from waveform techniques, such as the Gait Deviation Index (GDI) and the Gait Profile Score; overall kinematic deviation was largely a result of altered sagittal hip and knee kinematics.Regression techniques and diagnostic analyses demonstrated it was possible to quantify overall kinematic deviation using the 6MWT, time-to-stand, self-reported stair ambulation ability and age. The strength of the 6MWT as a proxy for energy expenditure analysis was explored further. Physiological responses measured during the 6MWT demonstrated at least two minutes of continuous walking was required to establish homeostatic conditions for heart rate, oxygen consumption and oxygen cost. It was recognised that the energy cost of walking was a function of cardiorespiratory fitness and gait efficiency, which was largely determined by changes in knee kinematics on the prosthetic side and pelvic obliquity patterns. The impact of gait deviation on patient satisfaction was also explored, although significant correlations between these variables were not detected. Rather, self-reported ambulation was a significant correlateof satisfaction. Discordance between self-report ambulation and gait deviation was identified in 10% of the sample. Reasons for this discordance were investigated. The 6MWT was found to be an effective proxy for quantifying overall gait deviation and assessing the energy cost of walking, both of which were consequent to altered hip flexion/extension, knee kinematics during stance and pelvic obliquity.

Sammanfattning Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva livskvalitet hos personer som genomgått en amputation av en extremitet utifrån ett fysiskt, psykiskt och socialt perspektiv. Sökning av artiklar har utförts i databaserna Medline, Cinahl och genom manuell sökning i några av artiklarnas referenslistor. Sjutton artiklar valdes för analysen, som genomfördes på ett systematiskt arbetssätt där fynden i artiklarnas resultat grupperades i tre huvudkategorier och nio underkategorier. Artiklarnas kvalitet granskades med hjälp av checklistor. Resultatet visade att patienter som amputerats fick hela sin existens förändrad. Faktorer som gav lägre livskvalitet hos patienterna var smärta, sämre fysisk funktion, minskad rörlighet och psykisk ohälsa. En faktor som gav bättre livskvalitet hos patienterna var användning av protes. Bättre livskvalitet hos patienterna uppmättes i områdena arbetsmiljö och tillfredsställelse inom familjelivet, jämfört med icke amputerade personer. Författarna ansåg att efter en amputation så omvärderade patienten olika delar i livet och uppskattade andra saker mer än människor som var friska, som kanske tog dessa för givet. Nyckelord: Amputation, Livskvalitet, Funktionshinder

Abstract The aim of this literature study was to describe the quality of life of persons who have undergone an amputation of a limb from a physical, mental and social perspective. Search through Medline, Cinahl databases and additional manual search in some of the articles reference lists was conducted. Seventeen articles were chosen for the analysis, which was carried out through a systematic approach and the findings in the articles results were grouped into three categories and nine subcategories. The quality of the articles was reviewed using checklists. The results showed that patients who had been amputated had their whole existence changed. Factors that resulted in lower quality of life of patients were pain, worse physical function, decreased mobility and mental illness. One factor that resulted in better quality of life for patients was the use of prosthesis. Better quality of life in patients was measured in the areas of work environment and satisfaction in family life compared to the healthy subjects. The authors believed that after an amputation the patient revalued different aspects of life and appreciated other things more than people who are healthy, who might have taken things for granted. Keywords: Amputation, Quality of Life, Disability

L’appareillage permet à aux personnes amputées de membre inférieur de retrouver une autonomie de déplacement. Actuellement, cette autonomie est limitée dans certaines situations de la vie courante comme la marche en pente ou en escalier. Des capteurs dits embarqués sont de plus en plus souvent intégrés dans les prothèses et permettent d’enregistrer des informations cinématiques et dynamiques au cours de la locomotion. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif de la thèse est de contribuer au développement de méthodes de traitement des données issues de ces technologies pour quantifier et améliorer l’adaptation de la prothèse à l’environnement. Ces méthodes ont été mises en œuvre et évaluées dans le cadre de l’utilisation d’un nouveau système prothétique contrôlé par microprocesseur de genou-cheville (SPCM), développé par la société Proteor et visant à faciliter la locomotion des personnes amputées au-dessus du genou dans les situations de pente ou de descente d’escalier. La première partie de cette thèse a été consacrée à la quantification des adaptations permises par le SPCM au cours de la locomotion dans différentes situations de la vie courante (plat, pente, escalier). La deuxième partie de la thèse s’est intéressée à développer des estimations de paramètres de la marche (vitesse de marche et inclinaison de la pente) et à la classification de 4 situations de la vie courante (plat, montée et descente de pente, descente d’escalier) à l’aide d’algorithmes d’apprentissage automatique pouvant être calculé par le SPCM en temps réel. L’ensemble de ces travaux permettra de mieux quantifier l’activité réelle de l’utilisateur. Cette quantification pourrait aider l’utilisateur ou l’équipe médicale pour le suivi d’activité mais aussi le constructeur pour améliorer l’adaptation des éléments prothétiques à l’environnement rencontré et pour vérifier l’utilisation réelle du SPCM.

Prosthetic devices allow people with lower limb amputation to recover their autonomy. Currently, this autonomy is limited in several everyday life situations such as walking on a slope or in stairs. Embedded sensors, frequently integrated inside the prostheses, record kinematic and dynamic data during locomotion. In this context, this PhD thesis aims to contribute to the development of methods for the processing of data provided by these technologies to quantify and improve the adaptation of the prosthesis to the environment. These methods were applied and evaluated in the context of the use of a new prosthetic knee-ankle system controlled by microprocessor (SPCM) developed by Proteor to facilitate the locomotion in situations such as slope or downstairs walking for people with above knee amputation. The first part of the work was devoted to the quantification of the adaptations allowed by the SPCM in different situations of daily life (flat, slope, staircase). The second part of the thesis focused on the estimation of gait parameters (walking speed and slope inclination) and the classification of 4 everyday life situations (flat, slope ascent and descent, stair…

En amputation innebär både en fysisk och en psykisk påverkan vilket är relaterat till en lång rehabilitering och anpassning till den nya livssituationen. För att som sjuk-sköterska kunna optimera vården av den amputerade personen är det viktigt att ha en ökad förståelse för vad ingreppet medför. Syftet var därför att beskriva faktorer som påverkar patientens upplevelse av hälsa i samband med en planerad benamputation. I denna litteraturstudie låg 15 vetenskapliga artiklar som grund för resultatet där två huvudkategorier med betydelse för upplevelsen av hälsa framkom; stödets betydelse och kroppsbildens betydelse. Stödet innebar de yttre resurserna i form av professionellt och socialt stöd. Kroppsbilden innebar de inre resurserna vilka handlade om den egna kroppsbildens betydelse för att återfå kroppsfunktionen och självständigheten. För den amputerade var det därför viktigt att nyttja hälsofrämjande faktorer som resurser för att anpassas till sina nya förutsättningar. Mer forskning kring personens erfarenheter av en amputation eftersträvas i syfte att öka sjuksköterskans förståelse för upplevelsen av ingreppet. Även forskning kring preoperativ information eftersöks då detta påvisades ha en positiv effekt för den postoperativa bearbetningen.

An amputation implies both a physical and a psychological impact which is related to a long rehabilitation and adjustment to the new life situation. To optimize the care of the amputee it is important as a nurse to increase the understanding of what the procedure entails. Therefore the aim of this study was to describe the factors that affect the lived experience of health related to a leg amputation. In this literature review 15 articles were used and two major subjects were generated which were of importance regarding the lived experience of health; the importance of support and the importance of the body image. The support implied the external resources in the terms of professional and social support. The body image implied the internal resources in the terms of regaining the body function and the independence. For the amputee it was therefore of importance to utilize health-promoting factors as resources to adjust to the new condition. More research regarding the personal experiences of an amputation is required to increase the nurses’ understanding of the procedure. Research regarding the preoperative information is also required due to the positive effect that it has been proven to inflict on the postoperative processing.

Background: War-related amputations are represented by a unique group of patients because of the wounds complexity and scope of several serious injuries. To prevent and avoid care suffering and suffering of the patient, this study focused on the nurse's way to manage and identify the needs of this unique group of patients who have suffered from war-related limb loss. To undergo a traumatic amputation is a big change for the victim, and the nurse has an important role in responding to the patient and their needs Aim: To illuminate nursing care of patients with war-related limb loss. Method: The chosen method was a literature review. The data consisted of nine qualitative and three quantitative studies. Results: Five themes were identified through the analysis. These where: “Initial treatment”, “The nurses management of pain”, “Identification of secondary complications”, “To treat the patients experiences” and “Rehabilitation”. Conclusions: The nurse has an important role in war-related amputations, from the acute stage to the final stage of rehabilitation. The nurse dispose, response and supports patients through the care process and it results in a well perform of the nurses work of care. The result also shows that more research on war-related patients needed from a nursperspective.

Bakgrund: Krigsrelaterade amputationer respresenteras av en unik grupp av patienter på grund av sårens komplexitet samt omfattning av flera svåra skador. För att förebygga och förhindra vårdlidande och lidande för patienten, så har denna studie riktat in sig på sjuksköterskans omvårdnad till denna unika patientgrupp. Dessutom innebär det att genomgå en traumatisk amputation en stor omställning för den drabbade, vilket gör att sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i att bemöta patienten och dess behov.Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskans omvårdnad av patienter med krigsrelaterade amputationer.Metod: Vald metod var litteraturöversikt där nio kvalitativa och tre kvantitativa artiklar analyserades.Resultat: Vid analysen identifierades fem teman. Dessa var: ”Initialt omhändertagande”, ”Sjuksköterskans hantering av smärta”, ”Identifiering av sekundära komplikationer”, ”Bemöta patientens upplevelser” samt ”Rehabilitering”.Konklusioner: Sjuksköterskan har en betydande roll vid omhändertagandet av patienter med krigsrelaterade amputationer, från det akuta skedet till uppföljningen efter patientens hemgång. Sjuksköterskan stöttar patienten hos de olika vårdinrättningarna; sjukhus, vårdcentral, psykiatri och hemsjukvård. Genom att sjuksköterskan omhändertar, bemöter och stöttar patienten genom vårdförloppet visar det på ett bra genomfört omvårdnadsarbete av sjuksköterska hos patienten. Fortsatt forskning om krigsrelaterade patienter behövs från ett sjuksköterskeperspektiv.

▼ Background and aim: Lower limb amputation (LLA) disrupts the typical functioning of an individual with the loss of normal ankle joint, surrounding musculature and associated sensory-motor loop. Although LLA is a peripheral condition, considerable sensorimotor reorganisation is required for relearning of effective postural control subsequent to the amputation. The ability to relearn postural control is affected by various factors such as ageing and disease co-morbidities. However there is insufficient understanding of patient-centred problems due to the fact that postural control research in persons with LLA is complicated by differing levels of amputation, the presence of peripheral vascular disease, age and other confounding factors. Therefore the overall aim of thesis was to explore and compare dynamic balance performance in persons with a dysvascular and traumatic below-knee amputation and, with age matched able-bodied and, able-bodied dysvascular control subjects. Methods and results: The thesis comprises three projects: a systematic review of instrumented measurement of balance in persons with LLA followed by two individual studies in persons with below-knee amputation. The systematic review identified the methodological issues in postural control research in persons with LLA and it was recognised that the dynamic and functional balance needs further attention in persons with LLA. The findings from the systematic review informed the methods used in Study 1 which was undertaken to examine the psychometric properties (feasibility, reliability and validity) of selective tasks in below-knee amputees. In Study 1, 15 persons with a below-knee amputation (8 traumatic amputations and 7 dysvascular amputations) who were 60 years and older completed the Sensory Organization Test (SOT), Sit to Stand (STS), Step Quick Turn (SQT) and the Step Up and Over (SUO) using the NeuroCom® Balance Manager on two occasions approximately two weeks apart. The SOT and SQT tests were determined to be feasible in persons with a below-knee amputation and their measures demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability (ICC ≥ 0.79, SEM ≤ 10% mean) and concurrent validity (rs≥ 0.56). An exploratory analysis that compared the balance performance of the traumatic and dysvascular amputees with these measures identified a difference in postural strategy in the SOT for conditions 2, 4 and 6 (p< 0.05) and in the Turn Time and Turn Sway variables of the SQT (p<0.05). In Study 2, 19 persons with a below-knee amputation (9 traumatic and 10 dysvascular) and 17 able-bodied control participants (9 with and 8 without dysvascular condition) completed the SOT and three tasks that simulated the turning behaviour. A significant difference was observed in SOT between the dysvascular amputees and able-bodied participants in conditions 1 to 4 (p< 0.05) and between traumatic amputees and able-bodied in conditions 1, 3 and 4 (p<0.05). Although no significant difference was observed between the dysvascular and traumatic amputation groups in centre of pressure… Advisors/Committee Members: Johnson, Gillian M (advisor).

▼ As of 2005, there were over 1.5 million amputees living in the United States, more than 548,000 of them with upper extremity involvement. The total number of amputees is projected to rise to at least 2.2 million by 2020. Unfortunately, full functional use of upper extremity prosthetic devices is low. Knowledge gained regarding the cortical systems active in amputees performing motor tasks may reveal atypical motor control strategies that contribute to these issues. Substantial evidence demonstrates a strong dependence on left parietofrontal cortical areas to successfully plan and execute tool-use movements and pantomimes. It was previously unclear how this network functioned in users of prostheses. The hypothesis of this dissertation is that in order to optimally engage the typical parietofrontal network during action imitation with a prosthetic device, the action being imitated should be performed by a matching prosthesis. Also, that greater engagement of the parietofrontal network will result in increased ability to perform tool-use movements. First, this dissertation showed that when imitating motor tasks performed by intact actors, prosthesis users exhibit lower engagement of the parietofrontal action encoding system. This network is crucial for motor adaptation. Left parietofrontal engagement was only observed when prosthesis users imitated matched limb prosthesis demonstrations, which suggests that matched limb imitation may be optimal to establish motor representations. Next, intact subjects donned a fictive amputee model system (FAMS) to simulate the limb movement that transradial amputees experience. Matched limb imitation in FAMS users yielded better movement technique compared to mismatched imitation. Finally, the longitudinal effects of a matched limb training paradigm on the cortical action encoding activity and motor behavior in FAMS users were investigated. Matched limb imitation subjects showed greater engagement of the parietofrontal network and better movement technique compared to those trained with mismatched limb. This dissertation has clinical relevance as it supports the notion that matched limb imitation could play an important role in the performance of motor tasks using a prosthetic device. These findings could be used to inform the development of improved rehabilitation protocols that may lead to greater functional adaptation of prosthetic devices into the lives of amputees.

Abstrakt Utifrån en hermeneutisk ansats har en enkät följd av djupgående intervjuer utförts i syfte att ge kunskap och förståelse för det omlärande en amputerad genomgår. Studien har även riktats mot upplevelse av omlärande i samband med spegelterapi och digital terapi för att ytterligare belysa de amputerades upplevelser av dessa terapier. Då digital terapi än så länge är en ny terapiform som endast testats på en patient har uppfattningarna om denna metod varit begränsade. De djupgående intervjuerna har i urvalet begränsats till amputerade till följd av ett trauma. Det omlärande de amputerade upplevt har tolkats utifrån en helhetsfokuserad lärandeteori för att belysa vidden av lärande för den traumatiskt amputerade personen. Omlärandet har berört både samspelsprocessen och tillägnelseprocessen och lärandeteorins samtliga tre dimensioner. Dessutom har de amputerade upplevt att deras identitet har påverkats till följd av den traumatiska amputationen. De intervjuade upplever dessutom att deras traumatiska amputation har medfört psykologiska påfrestningar som liknar dem vid psykiskt utmattningssymptom. Det är därför av betydelse att mer forskning görs inom detta fenomen för att på så sätt ge amputerade det stöd de behöver för en bra återhämtning. Abstract Based on a hermeneutical approach a questionnaire followed by in-depth interviews was conducted in order to provide knowledge and understanding of the relearning an amputee undergoes. This study was also directed to experienced relearning in connection with mirror therapy and digital therapy to further illustrate the amputee's experiences of these therapies. When digital therapy so far is a new form of therapy that has only been tested on one patient, perceptions of this method have been limited. For the in-depth interviews the selection was limited to amputees as a result of a trauma. The relearning the amputees experienced was interpreted on the basis of a whole-focused learning theory to illustrate the breadth of learning for the traumatic amputee. The relearning has involved both the interaction process and the appropriation process and all three dimensions of the learning theory. In addition, the interviewed felt that their identity has been affected as a result of the traumatic amputation. The interviewed also experienced that their traumatic amputation has led to psychological stresses similar to those of mental fatigue symptoms. It is therefore important that more research is done in this phenomenon so as to give amputees the support they need for a good recovery.

▼ Vocational rehabilitation relates to rehabilitating a person with an amputation back into actively participating in society. Although vocational rehabilitation is important, before it can be implemented, the participation restrictions should be identified. Even though lower limb amputation surgery is commonly performed in South Africa, and given the high unemployment rate in the country, no research has been done into the participation restrictions and vocational needs of a person with a unilateral lower limb amputation in the Western Cape. The aim of this study was to determine and explore the participation restrictions and vocational rehabilitation needs in terms of hobbies, sport activities, employment and employment needs of persons with a unilateral lower limb amputation (LLA) in the Western Cape. The objectives were to: 1) Determine the participation restrictions of persons with a unilateral LLA in the Western Cape. 2) To explore the vocational rehabilitation needs of persons with a lower limb amputation. A mixed methods approach, and an explanatory sequential design was used in this study. The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase utilised a quantitative approach and the WHODAS 2.0 was used as the instrument to collect data. The second phase aimed to explain the data collected in the first phase in more depth, and semi-structured telephonic interviews were utilized to collect the qualitative data. The study was set in the Cape Metropole region of the Western Cape. Participants were recruited from Tygerberg Tertiary Hospital and a private sub-acute rehabilitation centre. In the quantitative (first) phase of the study, 50 participants were conveniently recruited to participate. In the second phase eight participants were purposefully selected from the pool of 50 participants from the first phase of the study who consented to participate in the second phase. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS vs. 22 and analysed for descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative data has been analysed using Creswell's seven step process of thematic analysis. Ethical clearance has been obtained from the University of the Western Cape, permission to access patients' details has been obtained from Tygerberg Tertiary Hospital and private sub-acute rehabilitation centre. Written informed consent as well as permission for audio recording during the telephonic interview was obtained. Advisors/Committee Members: Ennion, Liezel (advisor), Phillips, Julie (advisor).

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)

Objectives: The aims of this study are to estimate the cumulative incidence of lower extremity amputation (LEA) revision and reamputation adjusting for a competing risk of death, estimate the one-year event-free mortality rates for patients with peripheral vascular disease undergoing LEA, and develop predictive models for LEA revision and reamputation adjusting for a competing risk of death. Methods: This was a retrospective review of the prospectively collected Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) registry between 2013 and 2018. Adults undergoing unilateral LEA were included. Demographics, comorbidities, medications, smoking status, history of vascular procedures and revascularization attempts, and procedure urgency were considered. Models to predict LEA revision and reamputation were developed using multivariable regression on the interval-censored competing risks data using semiparametric regression on the cumulative incidence function. Results: The cumulative incidences of LEA revision and revision-free mortality within one year of index amputation are 14.9% and 15.5% respectively. Patient BMI, smoking status, aspirin use, history of revascularization, and level of planned LEA are significantly associated with the odds of LEA revision. Age, amputation urgency, dialysis, and level of planned LEA are associated with the one-year odds of revision-free mortality. A patient receiving an index above knee amputation (AKA) has 61% lower odds of LEA revision (p < 0.0001) but 51% higher odds of revision-free mortality following LEA (p < 0.0001). Previous revascularization procedures increase the odds of revision by 23% (p < 0.0001). The cumulative incidences of reamputation and one-year reamputation-free mortality following LEA are 11.5% and 16.9% respectively. Urgency of the procedure, history of revascularization procedures, and level of planned LEA are statistically associated with the odds of reamputation when adjusting for the competing risk of death. Patients receiving index AKA have 62% lower odds of reamputation (p < 0.0001) compared to BKA. Dialysis is the strongest predictor of one-year mortality (OR 2.576, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Patients with appropriately managed PVD, which still progresses to amputation have higher odds of LEA revision and reamputation. Revision risk can be predicted and compared on the basis of patient factors and the planned index amputation.

Analyse de la marche des personnes amputées de membre inférieur en situations contraignantes de la vie couranteRESUME : Le projet se situe dans le contexte du handicap moteur et plus spécifiquement concerne les personnes amputées de membre inférieur. Une autonomie de déplacement est redonnée aux patients grâce à l'appareillage et la rééducation qui restituent une partie des fonctions locomotrices. Cependant, l'autonomie des personnes amputées de membre inférieur est limitée par des situations plus contraignantes que la marche sur sol plat (plans inclinés, escaliers, dévers) et rencontrées quotidiennement. Le développement de nouveaux composants prothétiques et protocoles de rééducation peut permettre de réduire les difficultés des patients dans ces situations. Au préalable, il est nécessaire de comprendre le comportement du système ostéo-articulaire et des composants prothétiques lors de la locomotion en situations contraignantes de la vie courante. L'analyse quantifiée de la marche a été utilisée dans cet objectif de caractérisation de la locomotion. Les travaux de thèse s'inscrivent dans un projet de trois ans financé par l'ANR en partenariat avec deux centres d'appareillage et de recherche clinique, le INI-CERAH (Centre d'Études et de Recherche Appareillage des Handicapés) et l'IRR (Institut Régional de Médecine Physique et de Réadaptation), et un industriel, l'entreprise Proteor fabricant de composants prothétiques. Un protocole permettant d'étudier la locomotion et les adaptations de la locomotion entre cinq situations différentes de la vie courante a été mis en place. Une base de données unique et d'envergure, au vue de la littérature, a été créée. Elle regroupe les paramètres de la marche de 22 sujets amputés transtibiaux, de 21 sujets amputés transfémoraux et 30 sujets contrôles, ayant suivi le même protocole. Des paramètres biomécaniques ont été identifiés pour caractériser les adaptations de la locomotion des sujets amputés entre le plat et le dévers et la pente par comparaison aux adaptations des sujets contrôles entre le plat et ces situations. Cette méthode d'analyse novatrice permet d'appréhender la locomotion d'un groupe de sujet en tenant compte de la marche propre à chaque individu du groupe. Ces travaux de thèse apportent un protocole, une base de données et un complément de connaissances sur les mécanismes mis en jeu lors de la locomotion en pente et en dévers.Mots clés : Amputation, Appareillage, Biomécanique, Locomotion, Dévers, Pentes

Gait analysis of lower limb amputee locomotion in limiting situations of daily livingABSTRACT : Project deals with disability and particularly lower limb amputation. Fitting and rehabilitation restore part of locomotor system functions and allow lower limb amputee people to recover autonomy in motion. However, this autonomy is restricted due to more limiting situations than level walking (inclined surfaces, stairs, cross-slopes) patients have to face in everyday life. Developing new prosthetic components and rehabilitation protocols could reduce lower limb…

Bakgrund: Trauma, tumörsjukdom, infektioner och cirkulationsrubbningar kan leda till förlust av kroppsdel. Forskning i ämnet är ofta medicinskt inriktad på smärtproblematik eller praktiska följder, medan patienters upplevelser och psykosocial påverkan hamnar i skymundan. Syfte: Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att beskriva psykosociala aspekter i upplevelsen av att leva med en förlorad kroppsdel. Metod: Litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats baserad på elva kvalitativa artiklar. Resultat: Att förlora en kroppsdel kan leda till påverkad självbild och psykosocial påverkan. Detta presenteras i huvudtemat att hantera en ny livssituation med underliggande teman jag är, jag ser ut, jag kan och socialt stöd. Slutsats: Vid förlust av kroppsdel oavsett etiologi kan självbilden påverkas i någon riktning. Sexuallivet såväl som vardagliga sysslor kan påverkas vilket i sin tur påverkar livskvaliteten. Att anpassa sig till en protes kan underlätta både den fysiska och den psykosociala aspekten, vilket påverkar självbilden positivt. Detta ämne har under det senaste årtiondet beforskats, men detta behöver förankras i klinisk praxis. Klinisk Betydelse: Genom att belysa de psykosociala aspekterna av att förlora en kroppsdel bidrar föreliggande uppsats till att öka förståelsen amputerade och mastektomerade patienters situation Nyckelord: amputation, mastektomi, protes, rekonstruktiv kirurgi, självbild, sexualitet

Background: Trauma, tumors, infections and vascular disease could lead to loss of limb. Research in the subject is often aimed at medical issues or practical matters, while the experiences and psychosocial aspects are being overlooked. Purpose: The purpose of this dissertation is to describe psycosocial aspects of the lived experience of living with a lost bodypart. Method: A review of qualitative approach based on eleven qualitative articles. Results: Losing a body part may affect psychosocial elements and self-image. This is being presented in the main theme to adapt to a new aspect of life and three themes: I am, I look like, I'm apt and social support. Conclusion: Loss of a bodypart of variying aetiology can lead to concerns of self- image. Sexuality and daily life activities can be affected, with a loss of quality of life as a consequence. To adapt to a prosthesis can ease both the psycosocial and physiological aspects of this transition, with im proved self-image as a result. This topic has been researched during the last decade, but the knowledge has yet to reach clinical praxis. Clinical significance: This study highlights the psycosocial aspects of losing a body part in order to give a deeper understanding of the needs of these patients. Key words: amputation, mastectomy, prosthesis, reconstructive surgery, self- image, sexuality

Bakgrund: Att förlora en kroppsdel medför att patienternas liv förändras. En amputation innebar inte endast en fysisk förändring utan även en psykisk förändring av patienternas liv. Syfte: Var att beskriva betydelsen av stöd hos patienter efter planerad benamputation. Metod: En litteraturstudie som genomfördes i tre olika databaser. Litteraturstudiens resultat resulterade i nio artiklar som presenterades i fyra teman; betydelsen av stöd vid fysiska förändringar, betydelsen av stöd vid psykiska förändringar, betydelsen av stöd vid existentiella förändring och sociala stödets betydelse vid en amputation. Resultat: Studien resulterade i fyra teman; (I) belyser hur fysiska förändringarna påverkat patienterna samt patienternas ADL. (II) beskriver den psykiska påverkan på patienterna efter amputationen samt att stödet från sjukvårdspersonalen måste inriktas till det psykiska likaväl som det fysiska. (III) beskriver ett missnöje hos patienterna angående stödet från sjukvårdspersonalen samt att patienterna efter amputationen måste bemästra nya färdigheter. (IIII) belyser det sociala stödets betydelse från närstående, vänner och människor runt omkring. Slutsats: I resultatet framkom det att patienterna som är amputerade behövde flera olika inriktningar av stöd efter amputationen. Behovet av stöd och att se hela människan behöver inkluderas i sjuksköterskeprofessionen och det är därför med stor vikt att studiens resultat belys.

Background: Losing a body part is life changing. An amputation involved a physical change and a mental change in patients' lives. Purpose: To describe the importance of support for patients following a planned leg amputation. Method: A literature study conducted in three different databases. The study resulted in nine articles that are presented in four themes; the importance of support at physical changes, the importance of support at psychological changes, the importance of support at existential changes and the importance of social support. Result: The study resulted in four themes; (I) illustrated how physical changes affected patients and patients' ADL. (II) describes the psychological impact on patients after amputation, and that the support must focus on the mental as well as the physical. (III) describes the support of healthcare professionals and that patients must master new skills. (IIII) highlights the importance of social support from close relatives, friends and people around. Conclusion: In the result it emerged that an amputated patient needs several different orientations of support after amputation. The need for support and seeing the whole person needs to be included in the nursing profession. It is therefore of significant importance that the study results need to be highlighted.
