Abstract

Background: Dynamic balance impairment is a major functional challenge in individuals with transfemoral amputation and is closely associated with mobility limitations and increased fall risk. Flexible transfemoral prostheses are widely prescribed to improve ambulation. However, limited biomechanical evidence exists examining how flexible transfemoral prostheses influence dynamic balance performance using standardized functional clinical assessments. This study aimed to examine the effect of flexible transfemoral prosthesis use on dynamic balance in unilateral transfemoral amputees. Methods: This quasi-experimental within-subject study followed the TREND reporting guideline. Thirty unilateral transfemoral amputees were recruited using purposive sampling from the Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics at Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta, Indonesia. Inclusion criteria were medical stability and ability to perform multidirectional stepping; exclusion criteria included bilateral amputation and neurological disorders. The independent variable was ambulation condition (axillary crutch ambulation versus flexible transfemoral prosthesis use), and the dependent variable was FSST completion time. Dynamic balance was assessed using the Four Square Step Test (FSST). Analyses were conducted using paired t-tests with 95% confidence intervals. Results: Participants were predominantly male (76.7%) with a mean age of 33.6 ± 9.4 years and a mean post-amputation duration of 4.2 ± 2.1 years. FSST completion time significantly decreased during flexible transfemoral prosthesis use compared with axillary crutch ambulation (mean difference = 8.97 seconds; 95% CI, 7.72–10.22; p < 0.001), demonstrating a very large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.68). Conclusion: Flexible transfemoral prosthesis use significantly enhances dynamic balance in unilateral transfemoral amputees. Flexible transfemoral prostheses should be considered an essential component of function-oriented rehabilitation strategies to optimize postural control and safe mobility. Future longitudinal and instrumented biomechanical studies are warranted to further elucidate underlying adaptation mechanisms.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine differences in walking balance across body mass index (BMI) categories and fall risk categories among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 55 older adults aged 50–90 years in a community setting in Central Java, Indonesia. Body mass index was classified using Asia–Pacific criteria. Fall risk was assessed using the Morse Fall Scale, and walking balance was evaluated using the 8-Foot Up and Go test, categorized as balanced or impaired. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s chi-square test. Results: The mean age of participants was 63.16 ± 8.60 years, and the mean BMI was 22.02 ± 3.86 kg/m². Overall, 69.1% of participants exhibited impaired walking balance. No significant association was found between BMI category and walking balance status (χ² = 4.78, p = 0.188). In contrast, fall risk category showed a significant association with walking balance status (χ² = 11.61, p = 0.003), with higher fall risk corresponding to greater balance impairment. Conclusion: Walking balance impairment among older adults was significantly associated with fall risk category but not with BMI classification. These findings indicate that fall risk assessment provides greater clinical relevance for identifying balance impairment than anthropometric measures alone.
