Medical Rehabilitation in Patient With Right Transtibial Amputation: A Case Report
Abstract
Transtibial amputation is an amputation of the lower leg between the ankle joint and knee joint, also called below knee amputation (BKA). Currently amputation of the lower extremities reaches 85%-90% of all amputations and transtibial amputations are the most common type of amputation.In the United States, a lower limb amputation of 82% is caused by dysvascular causes such as peripheral vascular disease (PVD), Diabetes Mellitus (DM) or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Other causes are trauma (16.4%), malignancy (0.9%), and congenital anomalies (0.8%). The presence of knee joint in transtibial amputation has significance meaning in the rehabilitation program, allowing the patient to return near-normal gait functions with minimal physical limitations. Rehabilitation in patient with amputation must begin as soon as possible. The goal of rehabilitation is to maximize the patient’s capabilities, function, and independence. We report the rehabilitative course of a middle-aged female patient who did right transtibial amputation due to diabetic ulcer that showed good outcome.
Key Words: transtibial amputation, BKA, prosthetic, diabetic ulcer.
