Falls After Dysvascular Transtibial Amputation: A Secondary Analysis of Falling Characteristics and Reduced Physical Performance

Abstract

Patients with dysvascular LLAs experience a variety of fall types. The high frequency of intrinsically sourced, incorrect weight-shift falls during transfer activities emphasizes the need to focus rehabilitation efforts on improving postural control in patients with dysvascular LLAs during activities such as reaching, turning, and transferring.
