1. Exercise training program in children with lower-limb amputation
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Few physical exercise programs for children with limb loss have been described in detail recently. We provided information regarding the characteristics and effectiveness of an alternative rehabilitation exercise developed for children with lower-limb amputation. METHODS: An 8-year-old boy with a below-knee amputation and a 9-year-old bi

2. Dynamic and Static Postural Control in Volleyball Players with Transfemoral Amputation
RESUMO Introdução: Uma diminuição no controle postural e propriocepção é um resultado comum da amputação dos membros inferiores. No entanto, a adaptação do controle postural nos jogadores paralímpicos de vôlei sentado com amputação de membros inferiores ainda não é compreendida. Objetivo: O propósito desse estudo transversal controlado co

3. Metodología para la fabricación de una prótesis transtibial a base de material compuesto de fibra de carbono y resina epóxica
ABSTRACT The problematic of handicap people, especially amputees, significantly impacts to the society. Existing prosthesis gives solutions that discourage amputee’s expectations; high costs are not often accessible for most of them. This research includes a methodology for construction of a prototype mold for manufacturing a generic foot prosthetic, Whose

4. Conception, design and development of a low-cost intelligent prosthesis for one-sided transfemoral amputees
Introduction Modern transfemoral knee prostheses are designed to offer comfort and self-confidence to amputees. These prostheses are mainly based upon either a passive concept, with a damping system, or an active computational intelligent design to control knee motion during the swing phase. In Brazil, most lower extremity amputees are unable to afford mode

5. Efeitos da velocidade nos paramêtros mecânicos e energéticos da locomoção de amputados transfemurais / Effects of speed on mechanics and energetics of transfemoral amputee walking
A caminhada humana é um movimento importante utilizado pelo homem, porém extremamente complexo em relação aos mecanismos energéticos e mecânicos que geram este movimento. O custo energético é maior na caminhada de amputados quando comparada a caminhada de indivíduos sem restrições físicas. Variáveis mecânicas e energéticas de amputados não fo

6. Qualidade de vida de protetizados de membros inferiores: estudo retrospectivo
The studying present main objective is to evaluate the quality of life of lower limb amputees, through specified interviews (with questionnaires) among patients under treatment at Vila São José Bento Cottolengo hospital, in Trindade/Go (Brazil), in a retrospective time of 02 (two) years. The study type is the qualitative and retrospective cohort. Once cont

7. Evaluation of the hip muscles mechanical behavior in transfemoral amputees / Avaliação do comportamento mecânico dos músculos do quadril em amputados transfemorais
Introduction Amputation at the transfemoral level leads to anatomical and functional adaptations that change the gate pattern and influences daily-life activities. It is well known that the side of the amputation presents lower force. However, it is not known if there is a specific angular position or angular velocity in that the force is even lower. Moreove

8. Simulation of upper limb motion considering Applied forces by muscles as parameters / Simulação de movimentos para o membro superior humano baseado nas forças aplicadas pelos músculos
The computational modelling and simulation of the motion and gait of human beings have been employed for many years in medicine and physiotherapy in several aspects such as, aid in surgeries, amputee treatments, as well as in many other activities performed by professionals of the health area. However, most of the systems based on this technology do not pres

9. Conversando com a pessoa a ser amputada : uma contribuição a psicologia medica
The amputation of lower limbs is frequently indicaled as radical treatment for cronic arterial diseases. The amputee s psycho-social adaptation is deeply interwoven with the way the patient will react to the illness and face the surgery. This study aims at investigating and understanding the theories and feelings patients develop towards arterial disease. It

10. Bilateral lower limb amputee rehabilitation. A retrospective review.
We retrospectively reviewed 61 cases of bilateral lower limb amputations in patients admitted to a regional amputee rehabilitation program. Of the 61 cases, 41 were analyzed as to functional outcome on discharge, at 1 month, and at 3 months; 20 were not included owing to transfers to acute care or loss to follow-up. There were 41 men and 20 women, the averag

11. The role of weakness of triceps surae muscles in astasia without abasia.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of weakness of the bilateral triceps surae muscles-the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles-in astasia without abasia and whether compensating for muscle weakness with ankle-foot orthoses improves this disability. DESIGN: Case-control study of clinical findings and before and after trial of ankle-foot orthoses. SETTING: Clinics
