Disturbance of the stato-dynamic function in patients with foot amputation defects and their compensation by prosthetic orthopedic products

Abstract

Material and methods The article discusses the features of the changes in the dynamic characteristics of the foot-support interaction in patients with foot amputation defects that reflect the state of their stato-dynamic function and the success of compensating of its disorders with prosthetic orthopedic products. The importance of this issue is due to a large number of patients with this pathology, difficulties in their prosthetic fitting, lack of a unified approach to prosthetic orthopedic support and subsequent evaluation of its quality. Result The results of locomotion disorders in patients with a unilateral foot stump and the effect of a prosthetic orthopedic shoe insole were estimated using the method of intra-footwear dynamobaroplantography. Conclusion Instrumental biomechanical studies allowed obtaining objective data on local overloads of the foot stump, bilateral asymmetry of load distribution and partial compensation of them with the use of prosthetic orthopedic products.
