Comparisons of the gait characteristics depended on Unilateral Trans-Femoral or Trans-Tibial Prostheses

편측대퇴의지와 편측하퇴의지의 보행특성 비교

The aim of this study is to present the basic reference data of age and specipic gait parameters for comparisons of the gait characteristics depended on Unilateral Trans-Femoral or Trans-Tibial Prostheses. The basic gait parameters were extracted from 10 Adult, 10 above knee(A/K) patients and 10 below knee(B/K) patients, 50 to 60 years of age using VICON 512 Motion Analyzer. The results were as follows; 1) The mean Cadence of the above knee(A/K) patients and below knee(B/K) patients were $87.77{\pm}8.64$ steps/min, to $99.84{\pm}11.14$ steps/min.(p<0.05) 2) The mean Walking Speed of the above knee(A/K) patients and below knee(B/K) patients were $0.84{\pm}0.15$ m/s, to $0.96{\pm}0.25$ m/s.(p>0.05) 3) The mean Stride Length of the above knee(A/K) patients and below knee(B/K) patients were $1.14{\pm}0.14$ m, to $1.14{\pm}0.22$m.(p>0.05) 4) The mean maximal angles of joint on the hip flexion motion for different above knee(A/K) patients and below knee(B/K) patients were $34.75{\pm}10.18_{\circ}$, to $32.32{\pm}6.34_{\circ}$ .(p>0.05) 5) The mean maximal angles of joint on the knee flexion motion for different above knee(A/K) patients and below knee(B/K) patients were $66.97{\pm}15.08_{\circ}$, to $52.65{\pm}9.21_{\circ}$ .(p<0.05) 6) The mean maximal angles of joint on the ankle dorsiflexion motion for different above knee(A/K) patients and below knee(B/K) patients were $14.41{\pm}4.82_{\circ}$, to $10.04{\pm}3.49_{\circ}$ .(p>0.05) 7) The mean maximal angles of joint on the ankle plantarflexion motion for different above knee(A/K) patients and below knee(B/K) patients were $5.77{\pm}3.17_{\circ}$, to $2.75{\pm}4.49_{\circ}$ .(p>0.05)
