ABSTRACT Introduction Recent military conflicts have resulted in a significant number of lower extremity injuries to U.S. service members that result amputation or limb preservation (LP) procedures. Service receiving these procedures report high prevalence and deleterious consequences falls. Very little research exists improve balance reduce falls, especially among young active populations such as with LP loss. To address this gap, we evaluated the success fall prevention training program...
Prior research has noted similar functional and subjective outcomes between individuals with delayed amputation vs. limb salvage; however, these reports are generally retrospective in nature. Here, we prospectively compare from an individual salvage to a transtibial using single-subject design sequential participation fall-prevention program.The subject participated rehabilitation training program, once before undergoing again after. As part of the participant completed pretraining...
