Аннотация
BACKGROUND: The aim of this case study was to verify the efficacy and safety of anti-gravity treadmill training for prosthetic rehabilitation following below-knee amputation.
CASE DESCRIPTION AND METHODS: The patient underwent left below-knee amputation as a result of diabetic foot gangrene. Since his physical strength and vitality had declined during the perioperative period, anti-gravity treadmill training was introduced for his outpatient prosthetic rehabilitation.
FINDINGS AND OUTCOMES: Stable prosthetic gait exercise could be carried out under guidance on the anti-gravity treadmill, quickly resulting in improved gait. Furthermore, the patient's self-efficacy and exercise tolerance were elevated after the period of anti-gravity treadmill training. At the final evaluation following 6 weeks of rehabilitation with the anti-gravity treadmill, he had acquired prosthetic gait with the assistance of a T-cane.
CONCLUSION: The anti-gravity treadmill was found to be a useful instrument for prosthetic rehabilitation following below-knee amputation.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Anti-gravity treadmill training has the potential to support the prosthetic rehabilitation of below-knee amputees, especially for patients whose physical strength and vitality are decreased.
