Energy consumption during prosthetic walking and physical fitness in older hip disarticulation amputees. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(8):1255–60. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.04.0067 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.04.0067JSP Aim – Investigate energy consumption during prosthetic walking and physical fitness in older hip disarticulation (HD) subjects. Relevance – Increased energy consumption during prosthetic walking with high amputation is extreme and unavoidable. – Older HD subjects usually have difficulties recovering from a deconditioned state and maintaining physical fitness required to walk with a prosthesis.

Energy consumption during prosthetic walking and physical fitness in older hip disarticulation amputees. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(8):1255–60. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.04.0067 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.04.0067JSP Method Subjects: 7 unilateral HD amputees (average age 68). Portable telemetric system was used to measure energy consumption during prosthetic walking at each individual’s comfortable walking speed (CWS). Incremental exercise test was performed to evaluate fitness.

Energy consumption during prosthetic walking and physical fitness in older hip disarticulation amputees. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(8):1255–60. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.04.0067 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.04.0067JSP Results Average CWS: 30.5 ± 9.6 m/min. Average O 2 consumption rate: 18.3 ± 2.4 mL/kg/min. Average O 2 cost: 0.639 ± 0.165 mL/kg/m. Maximum O 2 uptake as proportion of predicted maximum O 2 uptake (%VO2max): 57.2 ± 11.1. Community outcomes: – 5 subjects continued prosthetic walking. %VO2max : 55.8 to 72.0. – 2 subjects abandoned prosthetic walking. Lower %VO2max of 43.3 and 44.2.

Older HD amputees in good physical condition successfully walked with prosthesis in community setting. Lower level of fitness appears to make community walking prohibitive.
