  • Gait improvement in unilateral transfemoral amputees by a combined psychological and physiotherapeutic treatment
  • 2001
  • Ingår i: Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine. - : Medical Journals Sweden AB. - 1651-2081 .- 1650-1977. ; 33:3, s. 114-118
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A conscious therapeutic approach was used combining methods in physiotherapy with psychological awareness to re-educate nine transfemoral amputees during 10 months in outdoor environments. All were rehabilitated trauma or tumour cases, mean age 33 years, and had worn their prostheses for more than 18 months. The method aimed at integrating the prosthesis in normal movements and increasing body awareness. Gait was measured with a three-dimensional motion analysis system. Self-selected comfortable and brisk gait speed increased from mean 0.95 m/s and 1.29 m/s before to 1.40 m/s and 1.65 m/s after treatment, respectively. The results remained at a 6-month follow-up. Before treatment three participants used walking-aids and all had problems with low-back pain. After treatment none needed walking-aids and almost all low-back pain had disappeared. Seven participants learnt to jog. Results indicate that this new approach may add skills, mostly on participation level, to lead a relatively normal life.

  • The effect of a new treatment based on somatosensory stimulation in a group of patients with somatically related tinnitus.
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: The international tinnitus journal. - 0946-5448. ; 15:1, s. 94-99
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a new treatment consisting of stretching, posture training, and auricular acupuncture immediately and at a 3-month followup. This method has not been tested previously. From an original pool of 41 potential subjects, we recruited 24 (12 men, 12 women; ages 18-70 years) into this study and divided them from a waiting list into either a treatment group or a control group. We measured mobility of neck and posture; measured severity of tinnitus by the Klockhoff test and the visual analog scale (VAS); and measured grade of anxiety and depression with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. We also used the Mann-Whitney U-test to determine statistical significance. The statistical analysis demonstrated a significant decrease of tinnitus in the treatment group as compared with the control group, according to the VAS before and after treatment (p < .001) and at follow-up after 3 months (p < .01). We also observed a significant decrease of tinnitus according to the Klockhoff test before and after treatment (p < .001) and at follow-up after 3 months (p < .01). Our study indicates that this method, based on somatosensory stimulation, may be a useful and alternative treatment of somatic tinnitus.

  • Gait re-education in transfemoral amputees The training programme, gait analysis, oxygen consumption and coping
  • 2004
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • A gait re-education programme, combining physiotherapy with a psychologically conscious therapeutic approach, was applied to nine unilateral transfemoral amputees, whose amputation was caused by trauma or tumour. The participants trained once a week for a mean 10 months. The median age was 33 years (range 16– 51). They had worn a prosthesis for more than 18 months and had completed conventional rehabilitation. Before treatment, walking ability was limited and three used walking aids. All had problems with low-back pain. The effects of training on gait pattern and gait speed were evaluated with a three-dimensional motion analysis system. Oxygen consumption and energy cost were measured by analysing expired gas and heart rate was measured by electrocardiogram. Semi-structured interviews were performed to describe coping strategies in the acute phase and over time. Results showed normalized gait speed comparable to healthy non-amputees of similar age, due to improved gait technique and walking skills. After treatment none needed walking aids and almost all low-back pain had disappeared. In addition, seven participants learnt to jog. Results indicate that this new approach may add skills, mostly on participation level, for leading a relatively normal life. The positive results remained at a six-month follow-up. The participants’ strategies for coping in the acute phase were denial and avoidance. Over time they used downward comparisons, positive comparisons and repression. Only one participant had fully accepted the situation and adjusted to the new norm. Future research will show whether these results can be generalized in a controlled study.

  • Kinematic and kinetic gait analysis in the sagittal plane of trans-femoral amputees before and after special gait re-education.
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: Prosthetics and Orthotics International. - 1746-1553. ; 26:2, s. 101-112
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A special gait-training programme, combining a psychological therapeutic approach with methods in physiotherapy and body awareness, was used to re-educate nine unilateral trans-femoral amputees. All were rehabilitated trauma or tumour amputees with an age of 16-60 years. They had worn prostheses for more than 18 months. The re-education aimed at integrating the prosthesis in normal movements and increasing body awareness. Gait was measured before and after treatment and at 6 months follow-up with a three-dimensional motion analysis system. Results showed almost normalised gait speed and increased symmetry in the hip joints with increased muscle work on the amputated side both immediately and at follow-up. At follow-up there were significant differences in almost all parameters between the two legs of the subjects and when compared to a reference group of 18 healthy volunteers of similar age. Thus, the intact leg compensates for loss of function in the amputated leg and thereby works differently compared to the reference group. For example, during shock absorption the extension moment in the intact knee increased from 0.6 Nm/kg before to 1.0 Nm/kg after treatment and at follow-up compared to 0.4 Nm/kg in the reference group. The eccentric power of quadriceps increased from 0.6 w/kg before to 1.8 w/kg after treatment and 1.7 w/kg at follow-up compared to 0.4 w/kg in the reference group. The limp of amputees is usually observed in the frontal plane, but the authors' special focus on the sagittal plane here illustrates gait propulsion influences. The positive training results remained after six months.

  • Pelvic motion in trans-femoral amputees in the frontal and transverse plane before and after special gait re-education.
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Prosthetics and Orthotics International. - 1746-1553. ; 27:3, s. 227-237
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Using a special gait re-education programme, combining methods in physiotherapy with a psychological therapeutic approach to integrate the prosthesis with normal movements and to increase body awareness, the authors studied unilateral trans-femoral amputees aged 16-60 years with trauma or tumour as causes. In their service area they found 16 such current prosthetic users with at least 2 years of prosthetic experience and 9 who could complete the programme. Gait was measured before and after treatment and at 6 months follow-up with a three-dimensional motion analysis system and was compared to a reference group of 18 healthy volunteers of similar age. Results showed normalised gait speed and increased symmetry in step length after treatment, but reduced symmetry in pelvic motion. The reference group had a pelvic rotation of + 4 degrees both in the frontal and transverse planes. In the frontal plane, pelvic obliquity increased after treatment to a similar amplitude to the reference group, but with a different timing. Pelvic internal rotation on the amputated side increased to about 8 degrees in the beginning of stance. The amputated and the intact side before treatment were more symmetrical than afterwards and also when compared with the reference group. In spite of this, gait appeared to be more symmetrical, probably due to more efficient pelvic motion and more symmetrical upper-body movements. This was probably an effect of increased work with the intact side to compensate for the lack of power on the amputated side. These results remained at follow-up.
