Dataset Information

Gait dataset of 14 Syrian above-knee amputees and 20 healthy subjects.

ABSTRACT: This Gait dataset is essential for studying motion, evaluating prosthesis effects, and improving the design of prosthetic components to meet the needs for daily life in low-income countries where advanced prosthesis are limited. This dataset contains the gait parameters of 14 above-knee prosthesis users (5 female, 9 male) with different passive prosthetic components and 20 healthy participants (10 male, 10 female). The data are spatio-temporal parameters, lower limb joints angles and moments in the sagittal plane, and ground reaction force components. These data were acquired using 6 video cameras (BTS SMART-D) and 2 Kistler force plates in the biomechanics lab at Damascus University. The acquisition process of data follows Davis et al. protocol for clinical gait analysis. It was divided into three main steps: subject preparation, raw data acquisition, and gait parameters calculation. The online repository containing the files is Mendeley Data: [http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/k5y9jkx87y.1].

Project description:BackgroundThere are many consequences of lower limb amputation, including altered biomechanics of gait. It has previously been shown that these can lead to increased rates of osteoarthritis (OA). A common and successful treatment for severe OA is joint replacement. However, it is unclear whether amputees undergoing this surgery can expect the same outcomes or complication profile compared with non-amputees. Furthermore, there are key technical challenges associated with hip or knee replacement in lower limb amputees. This scoping review aimed to identify and summarise the existing evidence base.MethodsThis was a systematic scoping review performed according to PRISMA guidelines. An electronic database search of MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane Library, EMBASE and CINAHL was completed from the date of inception to 1st April 2023. All peer reviewed literature related to hip or knee replacement among lower limb amputees was included.ResultsOf the 931 records identified, 40 studies were included in this study. The available literature consisted primarily of case reports and case series, with generally low level of evidence. In total, there were 265 patients of which 195 received total hip replacement (THR), 51 received total knee replacement (TKR) and 21 received hip hemiarthroplasty. The most common reason for amputation was trauma (34.2%), and the main indication for joint replacement was OA (77.1%), occurring more frequently in the contralateral limb (66.7%). The outcomes reported varied widely between studies, with most suggesting good functional status post-operatively. A variety of technical tips were reported, primarily concerned with intra-operative control of the residual limb.ConclusionThere is a need for more observational studies to clearly define the association between amputation and subsequent need for joint replacement. Furthermore, comparative studies are needed to identify whether amputees can be expected to achieve similar functional outcomes after surgery, and if they are at higher risk of certain complications.
