Due to recent improvements in prosthetic limb componentry, through-the-knee (knee disarticulation) amputation has gained new interest for rehabilitation-minded amputation surgeons. Recent objective scientific studies from our gait analysis laboratory have described the walking characteristics of peripheral vascular insufficiency through-knee amputees, and have compared their function with similar patients amputated above (transfemoral), or below (trans-tibial), the knee joint. This paper provides a summary of that available information.
由于近期假肢部件的改进，对于注重康复的截肢外科医生而言，经膝关节（膝关节离断）截肢术有了新的吸引力。我们步态分析实验室近期的客观科学研究描述了外周血管功能不全经膝关节截肢者的行走特征，并将他们的功能与膝关节以上（经股骨）或以下（经胫骨）截肢的类似患者进行了比较。本文提供了该可用信息的总结。
