Stump length is an important factor in attaining successful prosthetic rehabilitation in below-knee (BK) amputees. Stability of the stump-prosthesis complex is impaired in the case of a stump shorter than 10 cm. Thus, fitting a prosthesis to a BK amputee with a stump which is very short often requires the use of different prosthetic techniques. In this work, the authors suggest the use of a Swedish knee-cage attached to a conventional patellar-tendon-bearing prosthesis as an alternative solution in the case of a short BK stump. Objective evaluation was performed by an analysis of gait and the foot-ground reaction forces. The results obtained indicate an improvement in all the measured parameters resulting from the modified stump-prosthesis complex.
残肢长度是实现膝下（BK）截肢者成功假肢康复的一个重要因素。如果残肢短于10厘米，残肢-假肢复合体的稳定性就会受损。因此，为残肢非常短的BK截肢者安装假肢通常需要采用不同的假肢技术。在这项研究中，作者建议在BK残肢较短的情况下，使用连接在传统髌腱承重假肢上的瑞典式膝关节护罩作为一种替代解决方案。通过对步态和足底地面反作用力的分析进行客观评估。所获得的结果表明，改良后的残肢-假肢复合体使所有测量参数都得到了改善。
