Kitesurfing is a sliding water sport whose popularity and number of practitioners are growing around the world. We describe an athlete of this sport who has undergone a transfemoral amputation (right leg, at the distal third), who uses a knee prosthesis that requires flexion and extension to absorb the shocks encountered. Kitesurfing under these circumstances calls for a proper prosthesis that accommodates the various strenuous maneuvers of the sport. Mr. M, 36 years old, nonprofessional athlete, uses a special prosthesis of this type.
We report on Mr. M, a person with a transfemoral amputation, who wanted to learn to kitesurf.
This was a case report study.
A prosthesis consisting of a thigh socket interface (Iceross Seal-In X TF, Iceland), knee (SymBiotechs XT9), and a foot (MotionFoot MX), which in addition to being saltwater-resistant, combines low weight and resistance to the shocks inherent to the sport.
Mr. M uses this prosthesis for kitesurfing with good results in both learning and improving. During the waterstart, he must be sitting on the beach and cannot shorten his left leg. This prosthesis adjusts its tension depending on the weather and water conditions and if the subject changes sports in such a way that it should be tensioned or relaxed depending on the needs of the new sport.
This prosthesis is adapted for kitesurfing and allows precise adjustments to kitesurfing maneuvers. It has allowed the user to perform the movements of the sport with success.
风筝冲浪是一项滑行水上运动，在全球范围内越来越受欢迎，参与人数也在不断增加。我们描述了一名参与这项运动的运动员，他经历了股骨截肢（右腿，在远端三分之一处），使用需要弯曲和伸展以吸收所遇到的冲击的膝关节假体。在这种情况下，风筝冲浪需要适当的假体来适应运动的各种剧烈动作。M 先生，36 岁，非专业运动员，使用的是这种特殊类型的假体。
我们报告了一位经历股骨截肢的 M 先生，他希望学习风筝冲浪。
这是一个病例报告研究。
一种由大腿套接接口（Iceross Seal-In X TF，冰岛）、膝盖（SymBiotechs XT9）和脚（MotionFoot MX）组成的假体，除了耐盐水外，还结合了低重量和对运动固有的冲击的阻力。
M 先生使用这种假体进行风筝冲浪，在学习和提高方面都取得了很好的效果。在水上启动时，他必须坐在沙滩上，不能缩短他的左腿。这种假体根据天气和水的条件以及主体是否改变运动来调整其张力，如果主体以需要调整或放松的方式改变运动，那么它应该根据新运动的需要进行调整。
这种假体适合风筝冲浪，并允许对风筝冲浪动作进行精确调整。它使使用者能够成功地完成运动的动作。
