Abstract

Pes planus (flat foot) is a condition characterized by the loss of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot, which can alter lower extremity biomechanics, including an increased Q-angle of the knee joint that may lead to functional knee disorders. This problem is commonly found among individuals with sports activities; however, knowledge regarding the management using flexible medial arch support remains limited. In order to decrease the Q-angle of the knee joint, this community slot777 service program aimed to increase the knowledge and abilities of people with flat feet in the use of flexible medial arch support. An initial survey, instructional sessions on flat foot, Q-angle of the knee joint, and flexible medial arch support, practical training on the device's usage, monitoring, and program assessment were among the implementation strategies. Over the course of a year, the program was carried out in phases, including administrative planning, coordination, instruction, hands-on support, and final assessment. The results indicated an increase in participants’ knowledge regarding the use of flexible medial arch support and their ability to apply the device independently. Furthermore, this activity contributed to improving community understanding of the role of orthotics and prosthetics in managing lower extremity disorders. An additional output in the form of educational video documentation was also produced to support broader information dissemination to the community.

Abstract

Background: Amputation of a lower limb has a detrimental effect on one's quality of life, psychological health, and physical health. Reduced physical capacity is one of the effects that contributes to physical health. As a result, the experience of using a prosthesis is essential for enhancing functional capacities to adjust to the social, professional, and family environments. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the length of prosthesis use and walking speed in transtibial prosthesis users.   Methods: This study used a cross-sectional analytical observational design. A two-minute walk test was used to measure walking speed, and an observation sheet was used to assess usage duration. Purposive sampling was employed to recruit a total of 15 participants, and hypothesis testing was conducted using Spearman’s rank correlation.   Results: The results showed that there was no significant correlation between walking speed and the duration of prosthesis use among transtibial prosthesis users (r = −0.314, p = 0.255).   Conclusion: This study found no statistically significant relationship between the duration of prosthesis use and walking speed among transtibial prosthesis users. Walking speed is likely influenced by multiple factors, including age, stump length, muscle strength, and prosthesis condition. Therefore, rehabilitation strategies should adopt a comprehensive and individualized approach rather than relying solely on the duration of prosthesis use.

Abstract

Background: Transtibial amputations generally have a better survival prognosis, and the remaining stump length after transtibial amputation (ideally 12-35 cm) plays a crucial role in the functional mobility of prosthesis users, including balance, weight transfer, walking, and daily activities. Mobility limitations can negatively impact the social aspects, quality of life, and health of amputees, making restoring mobility through prosthesis use an important goal. The purpose of this study was to determine and prove to evaluate the contribution of stump length the relationship between stump length and functional mobility in transtibial prosthesis users.   Methods: The research method used was quantitative, with an analytical observational study and a cross-sectional design. A total of 15 respondents were selected from a population of 55 below-knee amputee patients using transtibial prostheses using a purposive sampling technique using the L – Test of Functional Mobility instrument.   Results: The Spearman Rank Correlation test produced a p-value of <0.001 which is statistically significant with a correlation coefficient of 0.845 which is very strong and positive. So, there is a very strong relationship between stump length and functional mobility in transtibial prosthesis users.   Conclusion: The longer the transtibial stump, the better the functional mobility. It is recommended that during amputation the stump be kept as long as possible.
