چکیده انگلیسی
This study compared the physical function and comfort level of patients with unilateral transtibial amputation after being fitted with a hand-cast Patella Tendon Bearing (PTB) socket and a pressure-cast (PCAST) hydrocast socket. The latter technique aims to reduce the skill dependency currently required for socket manufacture and fit. The study was conducted at the Vietnamese Training Centre for Orthopaedic Technologies and involved seventeen Vietnamese participants with unilateral transtibial amputation, all of whom were long term users of prosthetics. All participants were fitted with two sockets manufactured using both hand-cast and PCAST techniques with International Committee of the Red Cross components. Walking tests (timed up and go test and six-minute-walk-test), spatio-temporal gait analyses and subjective comfort assessments were completed after a short acclimatisation period with each socket. The participant-preferred socket was also noted. No significant differences were found for the measures of mobility, functional capacity, spatio-temporal gait parameters, gait symmetry, perceived comfort or participant socket preference. The results show the initial patient outcomes are similar when participants are fitted with a hand-cast PTB socket and a PCAST hydrocast sockets. Future work should confirm these findings in a longer trial.
