Stubby prostheses have been used in the habilitation of very small children with bilateral lower limb deficiencies, particularly bilateral above knee limb deficiencies. While we reported on "The Use of Stubbies For the Child with Bilateral Lower Limb Deficiencies" in 1973, the literature has very little except in relation to the geriatric amputee. We have continued since 1973 to use stubbies in the bilateral above knee limb deficient child, as well as in the child with an above knee/below knee combination, with great success in establishing early balance, followed within several months by the application of articulated prostheses with equal success in establishing independent walking without the use of crutches or walkers.
短残肢假肢已被用于双侧下肢缺失的幼儿康复，尤其是双侧膝上肢体缺失的情况。虽然我们在1973年报道了“短残肢假肢在双侧下肢缺失儿童中的应用”，但除了与老年截肢者相关的内容外，相关文献很少。自1973年以来，我们继续在双侧膝上肢体缺失的儿童以及膝上/膝下组合缺失的儿童中使用短残肢假肢，在建立早期平衡方面取得了巨大成功，几个月后应用关节式假肢，在不使用拐杖或助行器的情况下成功实现独立行走。
