Biomechanics and PTI for the Partial Amputee
One of the main issues for those with diabetic related wounds, and the trauma of amputations is the loss of confidence in their own gait.
This is further compounded by the loss of strength and general physical fitness not to mention the risk of further ulceration and amputation.
This patient presentation is one of diabetic related ulceration, amputation complicated by a significant workplace fall from 2mtrs, breaking the femur resulting in a leg length difference.
We look at the function of the person in gait, pre and post intervention, the how and why we took the course of action.
Examining also how patient education can form the basis for better and more frequent movement and improving overall wellbeing.
