[Problems and techniques of functional rehabilitation of upper limb stump].

The authors discuss problems and techniques of rehabilitation in subjects who have undergone upper limb amputation, as well as the requirements for good application of a prosthesis. Various types of prostheses are described: passive ones, those moved by the body and externally operated ones. The amputee undergoes three stages of rehabilitation: a general preparatory phase for maintenance of good joint function and muscle efficiency; a phase of specific rehabilitation with the help of electromyometry and an electronic training device for the use of the prosthesis, and finally individual and group exercises in laboratories with special facilities.

Partial replantation after traumatic proximal lower limb amputation: a one-stage reconstruction with free osteocutaneous transfer from the amputated limb.

A case of immediate stump reconstruction following proximal leg amputation below the knee is reported. Additional length and sensation are conferred to the stump by free autotransplantation of a composite flap taken from the unsalvageable amputated leg. This flap provided 13 cm of vascularized tibia invested in the skin of the foot. This operative procedure facilitated the fitting of a prosthesis and preserved knee function despite an initial very proximal amputation.

The stump capping procedure to prevent or treat terminal osseous overgrowth.

Terminal overgrowth in transverse deficiencies and in amputations, particularly of the humerus and tibia necessitate serial trimming procedures or re-amputation. Capping using an autogenous bone graft or a titanium and polyethylene endoprosthetic cap provides a satisfactory way of avoiding these re-amputations and allowing end-bearing.

Calibration problems encountered while monitoring stump/socket interface pressures with force sensing resistors: techniques adopted to minimise inaccuracies.

Force sensing resistors (FSR) have been used to measure dynamic pressures at the interface between appliance and patient. Inaccuracies using FSRs have been reported. This paper summarises both the calibration problems encountered and the techniques adopted to minimise inaccuracies. It is considered that, by calibrating the transducers attached to the socket, and by adopting a strict test protocol, FSRs may provide a guide to the dynamic pressure distribution applied to the trans-tibial stump during gait.
