▼ The introduction of this thesis provides a brief history of prosthetic limb technology, introduces a Deleuzian and Groszian critical framework, and coins a new critical term – the "phantom-phantom limb," defined as the phantom one creates when projecting his or her own insecurities towards his or her personal `temporary able-body' onto an amputee's site of amputation. Viewing prosthetic limbs from a Deleuzian critical framework highlights an amputee's ability to actively and publically engage with the "phantom-phantom limb" in two specific ways – by wearing an "industrial prosthetic limb" and/or an "aesthetic prosthetic limb." The former, discussed in "Chapter One: The Industrial Prosthetic Limb," is a tool with which the amputee engages with his or her material surroundings based on a Deleuzian "desire," thus inspiring a gazing public to think creatively about how they may do the same. The latter, discussed in "Chapter Two: The Aesthetic Prosthetic Limb," is a tool with which the amputee intentionally expresses his or her individuality or "self" to the onlooking world. In both circumstances, the public figures discussed in the chapters to follow can be seen as visual activists who engage with the inquisitive stares of others, whether able-bodied or not, through prosthetic limb use. The amputees highlighted show society the body's capacity for extreme personal evolution through visual activism.

▼ 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.

▼ Many people with transtibial amputation rate the fit between their residual limb and prosthetic socket as the most important factor in the use of their prosthesis. Current research suggests that poor fit between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket can cause pain, skin breakdown or alteration of gait. This thesis focused on measurement methods to assess residual limb – prosthetic socket fit in people with transtibial amputation. Three aspects of fit were examined and new measurement methods for each aspect were explored.Fit affects the amount of relative movement that occurs between the residual limb and prosthetic socket. A method to measure this movement was proposed using motion capture analysis. The development and attempted validation of the method were outlined. Results were unpredictable and subject to confounding factors such as marker movement artefact. Therefore, the method was deemed not to be appropriate as a fit measurement tool in its current form. Based on these findings it was deemed necessary to investigate other measures of fit Fluctuation in residual limb volume can also affect fit. The reliability and validity of current residual limb volume measurement techniques were examined in a systematic review. Results demonstrated that circumferential measurements are the most reliable and valid tool currently available. The results from this review informed a study investigating the use of a low-cost optical scanner as a clinical volume measurement tool. Results found that the scanner was reliable when used by the same assessor but was not valid.The loading state at the prosthetic socket-residual limb interface is also an important factor in assessment of fit. The effect of pressure feedback to the prosthetist on the design of prosthetic sockets was assessed. It found that feedback resulted in reduction in pressure over anatomical regions of concern, and improved consistency between prosthetists. A new sensor to measure pressure and shear at the socket-limb interface was developed and benchtop testing was performed. These methods have the potential to aid in an improved understanding of the mechanisms that affect fit at the socket-limb interface of people with transtibial amputation. It is hoped that this can lead to improved fit and comfort for prosthetic users.

▼ 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.

▼ A wireless, wearable, real-time gait asymmetry detection system—the Lower ExtremityAmbulatory Feedback System (LEAFS)—has been validated by comparison to clinicalmotion capture (force plate and three-dimensional cameras) measurements, and evaluatedin training sessions with seven subjects. LEAFS is a low-cost in-shoe gait detection devicethat provides real-time auditory feedback based on stance time ratio and allows long-termgait asymmetry training to be performed outside of the clinical environment. Stance timeratio, which is also known as Symmetry Ratio (SR), is calculated by dividing the stancetime on one limb (typically the more affected limb) by the other, and control subjects havebeen shown to have SR of 1.02 ± 0.02. The validation test results demonstrate that the SRmeasured by LEAFS as compared to clinical motion capture results has a mean error of0.003 ± 0.05 for control subjects and 0.008 ± 0.04 for subjects with unilateral trans-tibialamputations. The LEAFS was used for gait asymmetry training in seven subjects withunilateral trans-tibial amputations; subjects received six 30-minute training sessions overa 3-week training period. The results demonstrate that LEAFS is accurate at measuringmean SR of a trial of steps, and it is reliable and practical to use LEAFS to train the gaitof patients with unilateral trans-tibial amputations by bringing their SR towards a normalrange.

▼ L’utilisation d’une nouvelle prothèse à la suite
d’une
amputation d’un membre inférieur (MI) demande une ré
acquisition de la capacité de marcher, ce qui peut mener à
différentes stratégies de mouvement. Malgré les connaissances
actuelles des stratégies de mouvement employées chez la population
des individus ayant une
amputation du MI (IA), aucune étude n’a
évalué leur évolution lors d’un exercice de marche prolongée et à
la suite d’un retour en milieu écologique. Pourtant, une diminution
des performances à la marche pourrait être observée suivant
l’apparition de la fatigue et/ou suivant une diminution du temps
alloué aux activités physiques quotidiennes. C’est pourquoi
l’objectif de cette étude est de quantifier les paramètres de
marche des IA 1) lors d’un test de marche de six minutes (TM6) à la
fin de leur réadaptation et 2) lors d’un TM6 six semaines suivant
la fin de leur réadaptation. Nous posons l’hypothèse que l’ajout de
centrales inertielles lors de l’évaluation de la marche des IA en
milieu clinique permettra de caractériser les stratégies adoptées.
Nous nous attendons à une dégradation de ces paramètres sur une
période de six minutes de marche en continu ainsi que sur une
période de six semaines suivant la fin des traitements de
réadaptation. Pour ce faire, des centrales inertielles ont été
utilisées, puisqu’elles permettent de quantifier les paramètres
spatio-temporels et cinématiques de la marche dans différents
environnements et populations, permettant l’acquisition de données
« sur le terrain ». Au total, 17 IA on fait le TM6 à T1 et T2 avec
des centrales inertielles posées sur chacun de leur pied pour
enregistrer leurs paramètres de marche (c.-à-d. dégagement minimal
des orteils (minTC), phase de chargement (LDr), phase de pied plat
(FFr), largeur de pas en phase oscillante, longueur de foulée,
vitesse et cadence). Une analyse ANOVA non paramétrique a comparé
1) l’évolution des paramètres de marche sur une période de six
minutes et 2) l’évolution des paramètres de marche entre T1 et T2.
Un test de Wilcoxon des rangs signés a été exécuté lorsqu’une
interaction était détectée dans l’ANOVA (P < 0.05).
Contrairement à l’hypothèse posée en début de projet, une
amélioration des performances au membre prothétique (AL) entre T1
et T2 a été observée (largeur de pas en phase d’oscillation,
vitesse et cadence augmentées, et la phase d’appui diminuée).
Cependant, le minTC n’a pas évolué proportionnellement à la vitesse
de marche. Finalement, les capacités physiques et à la marche se
sont améliorées entre T1 et T2 dans la population des IA malgré une
incapacité d’adapter leur minTC (c.-à-d.., d’augmenter le minTC
proportionnellement à la vitesse de marche) à l’augmentation de
leur vitesse de marche. Ce phénomène pourrait être expliqué par un
patron de marche déficient utilisant la stratégie de « hip hiking »
caractérisé par un large minTC et petite largeur de pas à T1 qui
s’est amélioré à T2. Toutefois, un petit minTC est aussi relié à un
plus grand risque de chute. Ainsi, l’évaluation des paramètres de
marche des…

▼ Bakgrund: Amputation innebär att en extremitet eller ett organ tas bort från kroppen som ett resultat av långvarig sjukdom, fysiskt trauma, tumör eller missbildning. Globalt sett orsakas amputation av ett trauma, men i väst världen är hjärt-kärlsjukdomar den största orsaken till amputation. En traumatisk amputation kan ske oväntat, detta kan leda till förtvivlan och sorg. Människor som har hjärt-kärlsjukdomar eller diabetes kan ha levt med svåra smärtor i extremiteten under en längre tid, då kan amputation lindra smärtan. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa patienters upplevelser efter amputation av nedre extremitet. Metod: För att besvara studiens syfte genomfördes en systematisk litteraturstudie, vilket bygger på granskning och sammanställning av vetenskapliga artiklar. Litteratursökningen genomfördes via databaserna CHINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO och Scopus. Åtta vetenskapliga artiklar bedömdes relevanta för studiens syfte. Analysmetoden gick ut på att läsa de valda artiklarna och sedan jämföra studiernas resultat för att identifiera likheter och olikheter. Resultat: Efter sammanställning av de åtta studierna identifierades tre övergripande rubriker: sociala förändringar, leva med smärta och hantera vardagen. Konklusion: Studiens slutsats är att livssituationen förändras på olika sätt för patienter som genomgått amputation av nedre extremitet. Strategier och stöd hjälper patienterna att rehabilitera sig och återfå känsla av självständighet.

▼ 8 in 10 people with an
amputation desire to participate in physical activity, yet lack of prosthetic availability and inadequately designed prostheses are the primary barriers for participation in sports and activities. Furthermore, the population of people with an
amputation is predicted to more than double by the year 2050. Physical activity is beneficial for physical, social, and emotional health, and is important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, especially for people who have had an
amputation. Running-specific prostheses (RSPs) are designed for running and sprinting due to their large energy storage and return capabilities. However, RSPs are expensive and may not be covered by medical insurance. Therefore, if a person with an
amputation wishes to run, they may do so using their daily-use prosthesis (DUP), which is not designed for highly dynamic activities. People with a unilateral transtibial
amputation (TTA) have numerous biomechanical differences between the intact and amputated legs, and compared to people without TTA. TTA results in changes in joint kinetics, ground reaction forces, muscular coordination, and internal joint loading, which has been previously observed during walking. However, the effect of
amputation together with the effect of prosthesis choice (DUP vs. RSP) and running speed have not been investigated among people with TTA during running. Characterizing the running biomechanics of people with TTA is important for understanding implications of device choice and
amputation on outcomes related to overall functionality and long-term injury, which is prevalent for people with TTA. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to characterize the running biomechanics of people with TTA to understand the effect of prosthesis choice (RSP vs. DUP), the presence of an
amputation, and running speed on coordination and injury risk. People with and without TTA ran at speeds ranging from 2.5 m/s to 5.0 m/s (10:44 min/mile - 5:21 min/mile) while kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activity were collected. Musculoskeletal models were developed to estimate internal hip joint contact forces. Compared to DUPs, the use of RSPs reduced the amount of compensatory amputated side hip work, increased device energy return, reduced total muscle activity, improved peak muscle activation timing, and reduced bilateral peak hip joint contact forces. Understanding the effects of
amputation, prosthesis type, and running speed on metrics related to injury risk for people with TTA is important for informing device selection, providing evidence for medical insurance coverage, and improving long-term joint health outcomes. Outcomes from this research have the potential to improve device availability and ultimately, eliminate barriers for people with TTA to freely participate in running and sporting activities.

▼ Tail docking of young piglets is a common management procedure which is carried out on pig farms to prevent tail biting behaviour. In New Zealand, pain relief is not required at the time of the procedure if piglets are less than 7 days old. However, tail docking results in behavioural and physiological pain and stress responses in piglets. A survey of pig husbandry practices was carried out before conducting the experimental procedure. The survey had 15 questions which focused on the occurrence of tail biting, of which only one respondent reported tail biting absence. Most questions were centred on tail biting risk factors coming from housing conformations, use of manipulable substances such as straw and feeding systems. Knowledge of farmers’ strategies concerning risk factors can enable stakeholders to advise farmers on the best ways to minimise tail biting. The objective of this research was to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of a novel topical formulation to reduce pain due to tail docking. This was examined in 108 piglets (9 litters of 12 piglets each), which were docked by a gas cautery iron at approximately 2-3 days of age. The study had 3 treatment groups: pain relief provided before docking, (‘Before’); pain relief provided after docking (‘After’); and the control group which had no pain relief (‘Control’). The 9 litters were randomly allocated, such that each treatment group had 3 litters. The behavioural response to docking was recorded during and after docking. The percentages and means for vocalisations and escape attempts before docking were recorded, and these were lowest in the ‘before’ group (P<.0001). Post docking, treatment had a highly significant effect on walking behaviour (P<0.0002). Piglets in the control group had the highest likelihood of walking after docking, followed by the after and before groups respectively. Lying in contact, which signifies social coherence, was more apparent in the before group, (P<0.0001) followed by the after group and was observed at the lowest frequency in the control group. Conversely, the lying in isolation behaviour was highest in the control group, (P<0.0002), followed by the after group and lastly the before group. Sitting and pain related behaviours had the highest occurrences in control piglets, followed by the after group and lastly the before group. Blood sampling was carried out to conduct inflammatory gene expression studies which suggest the level of pain. The results from the study were unbalanced, therefore inconclusive due to sampling challenges which resulted in limited raw data. Blood samples from piglets that had not received pain relief prior to docking were especially difficult to collect. The blood work sought to analyse which cytokines, pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes would be upregulated following pain due to tail docking. Pre-emptive application of the topical analgesic formulation resulted in fewer pain related behaviour displays but was the most labour-intensive treatment. Further work is required to develop more practical…

▼ 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.

▼ Diabetes progredierar mot ett folkhälsoproblem, vilket innebär att prevalensen av sjukdomen ökar drastiskt i hela världen. Sjukdomen medför en rad komplikationer, varav benamputation är en av de mer livsomvälvande komplikationerna. Patienternas upplevelse av benamputation är av intresse att undersöka då sjuksköterskans förståelse och kunskap om patientens situation ökar och kan bidra till utförandet av god omvårdnad. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva patienters upplevelse av benamputation orsakad av diabetes. Studiens metod utfördes som en allmän litteraturstudie med induktiv ansats. Nio artiklar som svarade till studiens syfte granskades och sammanställdes. Tre huvudkategorier framkom; brist på information, betydelsen av stöd samt emotionell berg- och dalbana. Patienterna beskriver en brist på information, om livet efter amputationen och processen tillbaka till ett självständigt liv. Familj och vänner beskrivs som ett stort stöd för vissa patienter medan andra finner ett likvärdigt stöd i professionell personal. Den emotionella berg- och dalbanan beskrivs som känslor som pendlar mellan orättvisa, lättnad, panik och tacksamhet efter amputationen. Sjuksköterskor rekommenderas att använda standardiserade och individuella vårdplaner som ett hjälpmedel i det dagliga arbetet med patienten för att säkerställa god och personcentrerad omvårdnad.
Diabetes progresses towards a public health issue worldwide and the prevalence increases. The illness causes several complications, which lower limb amputation is one of the more lifechanging complications. Patients’ experience of lower limb amputation is of interest to identify, which could increase nurses understanding and knowledge about the patients’ situation and the nurse’s ability to perform a safe and loving care. The aim of this study was to describe patients experience of undergoing a lower limb amputation caused by diabetes. The study was conducted as a general literature study with an inductive approach. Nine articles were found that matched this study’s aim and were reviewed and compiled. Main findings of the study results in three categories; lack of information, need for support and emotional roller coaster. The patients describe a lack of information about life and daily living after the amputation and the process towards being independent. Family and friends describes as very supportive by some patients and others find a equal support in professionals. The emotional roller coaster describes as feelings that are pendulating between injustice, relief, panic and gratefulness after the amputation. Recommendations towards nurses are that they should use standardized and individual care plans as an aid in their daily work around the patient to ensure good and person-centered nursing care.

▼ 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…

▼ 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…

▼ ENGLISH SUMMARY : Background: Major lower limb amputation has a severe impact on functional mobility. While mobility can be salvaged with a prosthesis, it is not always the most optimal choice. It is often difficult to decide whether to refer someone for a prosthesis. An evidence-based prosthetic screening tool ‘Guidelines for Screening of Prosthetic Candidates: Lower Limb’ is used for prosthetic prescription in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
Objectives: The study aimed to explore the suitability of the tool ‘Guidelines for Screening of Prosthetic Candidates: Lower Limb’ for use in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
Method: A qualitative study was conducted with conveniently sampled occupational therapists (n=10), physiotherapists (n=12) and medical orthotists/prosthetists (n=6) in government employment in the Buffalo City Metro Municipality. Participants were trained to use the tool and then used it for four weeks. Their experiences of the tool were assessed through three focus group discussions. Emergent themes were identified during analysis.
Findings: Participants indicated that the tool could assist with prosthetic prescription, goal setting, communication and teamwork. They thought the tool was multidisciplinary in nature, comprehensive and practical. Findings showed challenges with regard to teamwork in the study setting. Resistance to change and a lack of time might hamper implementation of the tool. Participants suggested a longer test period, with structured feedback sessions, and supported by hospital management.
Conclusion: The tool can assist with managing the backlog for prostheses and to guiding prosthetic prescription in the Eastern Cape Province.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING : Agtergrond: ‘n Amputasie van die onderste ledemaat beinvloed ‘n persoon se funksionele mobiliteit drasties. Alhoewel ‘n prostese mobiliteit kan verbeter is dit nie altyd die mees optimale keuse nie. Dit is meermale meoilik om te besluit of iemand verwys moet word vir ‘n prostese. ‘n Navorsings gebaseerde evalueringsvorm ‘Guidelines for Screening of Prosthetic Candidates: Lower Limb’ word gebruik vir die voorskryf van prosteses in die Wes Kaap Provinsie van Suid Afrika.
Doel: Die doel van die studie was om vas te stel of die evaluering ‘Guidelines for Screening of Prosthetic Candidates: Lower Limb’ geskik is vir gebruik in die Oos Kaap Provinsie van Suid Afrika.
Metode: ‘n Gerieflikheids steekproef van arbeidsterapeute (n=10), fisioterapeute (n=12) en mediese ortotiste/prostetiste (n=6), wat in die Buffalo City Metro Munisipale area vir die regering werk, het aan die kwalitatiewe studie deelgeneem. Die deelnemers het opleiding ontvang in die gebruik van die vorm, waarna hulle dit vir vier weke met pasiente gebruik het. Hulle opinies oor die vorm is gekry tydens drie fokusgroep besprekings. Ontluikende temas is geidentifiseer tydens data analise.
Bevindinge: Deelnemers het gevoel die vorm kan help met voorskryf van prosteses, beplanning van behandeling, kommunikasie en spanwerk. Die vorm is multidissipliner,…

▼ The Automatic Stance-Phase Lock is the novel stance-phase control mechanism employed by the All-Terrain Knee. Gait analysis tools are often limited to controlled environments and cannot directly monitor the ASPL. The objective of this project was to design and test a sensor system to measure ASPL function and to begin to explore the effects of relevant alignment, terrain, and mobility conditions on its performance.
The results of this study indicate that the developed system is sensitive to knee lock position changes, knee extension and flexion, and gait events. Data collected by the system confirms the fundamental relationships between applied moments and knee lock engagement which define ASPL stance-phase control. Measurable differences in ASPL function allude to its responsiveness to variable gait conditions.
The developed system has the proven potential for use in larger biomechanical and clinical studies to inform All-Terrain Knee design iterations and optimize patient-specific prosthetic alignment and set-up.

▼ 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.

▼ Most dogs appear to adapt well to the removal of a thoracic limb, but clinically there is a particular subset of dogs that still have problems with gait that seem to be unrelated to age, weight, or breed. The purpose of this study was to objectively characterize biomechanical changes in gait associated with
amputation of a thoracic limb. Sixteen amputees and 24 control dogs of various breeds with similar stature and mass greater than 14 kg were recruited and participated in the study. Dogs were trotted across three in-series force platforms as spatial kinematic and ground reaction force data were recorded during the stance phase. Ground reaction forces, impulses, and stance durations were computed as well as stance widths, stride lengths, limb and spinal joint angles. Kinetic results show that thoracic limb amputees have increased stance times and vertical impulses. The remaining thoracic limb and pelvic limb ipsilateral to the side of
amputation compensate for the loss of braking, and the ipsilateral pelvic limb also compensates the most for the loss of propulsion. The carpus, and ipsilateral hip and stifle joints are more flexed during stance, and the T1, T13, and L7 joints experience significant differences in spinal motion in both the sagittal and horizontal planes throughout the gait cycle stance phases. The spine, carpus, and ipsilateral hip and stifle joints are of most concern when considering the biomechanical impact that a thoracic limb
amputation may have for a given dog.

▼ 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.

▼ The present study used phenomenology to inquire about the quality of life experiences of six adults who had undergone an
amputation. This study also explored how the adults perceive their lives. All participants resided in Western Canada and had undergone an upper limb
amputation several years prior to the study. Each participant was interviewed twice. Some of the interview questions were from Roberts and Cairns’ (1999) adaptation of Keith and Schalock’s (1994) QOL model. Interviews were conducted, transcribed, and thematically analyzed. Results indicated that some participants experienced a change whereas others reported stability in quality of life. The data analysis revealed specific categories, clusters, and themes of participants’ quality of life experiences. Quality of life categories related to empowerment, satisfaction and well-being, and the social realm. Participants described their lives as being significantly changed as a result of an
amputation. The data analysis also revealed specific categories, clusters, and themes of participants’ perceptions of their lives. Psychological attributes and health care were two categories. The present study offers implications for several groups of people.

▼ Background: Globally, the leading cause of lower limb
amputation is diabetes mellitus. In South Africa, there is a rise in diabetes-related lower limb
amputation with a marked increase in the number of persons with diabetes mellitus in rural areas. However, there is no information on the number of people who are living with a lower limb
amputation. An
amputation does not only have an impact on a person’s physical functioning but can result in poor quality of life, dependence and exclusion from societal participation. Rehabilitation and prosthetic interventions are known to facilitate those with a lower limb
amputation to return to independence in activities of daily living, improved quality of life and inclusion in society.
Access to health care is very challenging for persons living in rural areas. Challenges to accessing health care include limited rehabilitation staff, harsh terrain and far distances from services, a lack of access to transport, or the lack of confidence in the service provided by the healthcare institutions. For optimal and patient-centred outcomes, rehabilitation services are of paramount importance. Due to the challenges with providing services in rural areas, community-based rehabilitation is the ideal model for providing rehabilitation to persons with lower limb
amputation in rural settings. In order to plan an appropriate community-based approach to rehabilitation, establishing the prevalence of disability and patient-specific needs are imperative.
Aims of the study: The aims of this study were firstly, to determine the period prevalence of people living with a lower limb
amputation within the rural OR Tambo District of the Eastern Cape in order to determine the need for services and secondly, to gain a deeper understanding of the rehabilitation needs of persons living with a lower limb
amputation within the rural OR Tambo District of the Eastern Cape.

▼ 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.

▼ There are approximately two million Americans
currently living with limb loss, with 185,000 new amputations
occurring annually. Over half of all lower limb amputations are
major amputations (i.e., excluding toes) and 90% of upper limb
amputations occur distal to the wrist. Living with a lower or upper
limb
amputation can be very difficult. Loss of a limb requires an
amputee to adapt and learn new movement patterns in order to
complete activities of daily living (ADLs). For unilateral
amputees, particularly upper limb amputees, most of these
adaptations result in over reliance on the intact side creating the
potential for overuse injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. While
research investigations involving prosthetics have focused heavily
on biomechanical and functional outcomes of lower limb prostheses,
fewer investigations have been completed regarding upper limb
prostheses, particularly hand prostheses, and even fewer
investigations have explored the short- and long-term cost outcomes
associated with various types of prostheses. The purpose of this
dissertation is to better understand how prosthetics impact
financial, functional, and biomechanical outcomes in upper and
lower limb amputees.Chapter 1 provides background information of
upper and lower limb amputations and previous work investigating
biomechanical and financial outcomes. Chapters 2 and 3 aimed to
estimate the short- and long-term healthcare costs associated with
various types of upper and lower limb prostheses. The results
indicated that advanced prostheses, when compared to less advanced
and less expensive prostheses, cost more initially but over time
(>4 years) the cost differences were minimal. It was also
estimated that lower and upper limb
amputation can cost on average
660,000 and 530,000 over twenty years following receipt of a
prosthesis, respectively. Chapters 4 and 5 aimed to assess function
and kinematics of upper limb movements while performing the
Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure (SHAP). Twenty-four healthy
and six partial hand amputee participants underwent 3D kinematic
analysis as they completed the SHAP. The healthy data were used to
develop a normative database in Chapter 4. The results from Chapter
5 confirmed our hypothesis that function was restored and
kinematics were normalized when partial hand amputees used an
externally powered partial hand prosthesis. This is the first study
to perform short- and long-term cost analyses on multiple limb loss
groups to provide insight on the financial burden associated with
amputation and the factors that may alter these costs. This is also
the first study to investigate how partial hand amputees perform
with and without an externally powered hand prosthesis. Our
investigation can help highlight how detrimental a partial hand
amputation can be and how a partial hand prosthesis can restore
lost function. Together these projects can better inform
clinicians, payers, and patients on financial, biomechanical, and
functional consequences of
amputation so that the best healthcare
decisions…

▼ The objectives of this study were to adopt the automatic stance-phase lock (ASPL) technology to a paediatric prosthetic knee, optimize and incorporate the extension assist to the proposed design, structurally and clinically validate the prototype of the knee in a structural testing and single subject pilot study, and use a questionnaire to evaluate its efficacy. Biomechanical models were used to analyze the gait characteristics of the participant with the proposed knee and the conventional knee joint used by the participant in the clinical pilot study. A questionnaire pertaining to the functions and characteristics of the proposed knee joint was administered to the participant. The results of the clinical study indicated that the stance phase performance of the proposed design is comparable to the conventional knee. Questionnaire results revealed participant was very confident with the design, and was able to participate in many activities such as running and playing dodge ball.

▼ 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.
