“…In the research of Wen, et al, (2018) found no gender differences in psychosocial adjustment and physical outcomes, except for strenuous physical activities and phantom pain, and both genders reported difficulty in social adjustment. After controlling for strenuous physical activities and phantom pain, we found that men showed worse psychosocial adjustment than women.…”

Background: Transfemoral amputees experience many difficulties in carrying out daily activities. One of the devices that can be used in above-knee amputation patients is transfemoral prosthesis. The use of transfemoral prostheses in post-amputation patients can help with activities, one of which is independence in self-care, mobility, and locomotion. Methods: The study was conducted at PT Kuspito Orthotic Prosthetics and the time of the study was carried out in 2021. The population of this study was users of flexible prostheses at PT Kuspito Ortotik Prosthetic. The samples of this study were flexible prostheses users at PT. Kuspito prosthetic orthotic that meets the criteria as many as 30 users. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, inclusion criteria: subjects aged 17-35 years, subjects in good health, subjects using a flexible unilateral prosthesis, at least using an artificial leg for 1 month, having a strength value of 4, having normal Range Of Motion. Exclusion criteria: the subject had advanced disease, bilateral prosthesis user. The measuring instrument used was the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) questionnaire that is valid and reliable. Results: The value of Sig. is 0.000, there is a significant difference in the level of independence between the results of the pre-test and post-test. there is a significant difference in the results that using a flexible prosthesis can increase the level of independence in above-knee amputees in carrying out daily activities. Conclusion: The functional independence of above-knee amputation patients is strongly influenced by the use of a flexible prosthesis. It is recommended that above-knee amputation patients can use a flexible prosthesis to increase the level of independence.

“…The known-groups validity of the P-PASIPD was investigated regarding the participants' sex, cause of amputation, and level of amputation. Data from previous studies suggest that the amputee's sex [28], level of amputation, and cause of amputation [29] can affect their level of physical activity.…”

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to culturally adapt the original English version of the Physical Activity Scale For Individuals with Physical Disabilities (PASIPD) for the Persian-speaking patients with Lower-Limb Amputations (LLAs) and to evaluate its reliability and construct validity. Methods: This research was a multicenter cross-sectional and repeated measure study. The cultural adaptation process was conducted according to an accepted international guideline. A total of 197 Persian-speaking individuals with LLA were recruited to investigate the reliability and validity of the PASIPD. Reliability analyses were assessed by Cronbach α and the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The Association between the PASIPD scores and the prosthetic limb user survey of mobility scores was examined to evaluate the convergent validity of the PASIPD. Known-groups validity was assessed based on sex, amputation causes, and amputation levels. Results: The PASIPD had an acceptable internal uniformity (the Cronbach α of 0.68) and test-retest reproducibility (r=0.70). There was a small correlation between the PASIPD and prosthetic limb user mobility survey (r=0.26; P<0.001). Some items of PASIPD could discriminate individuals with different causes of amputation and sex. Factor analysis extracted four main factors that explained 65.4% of the variance. Discussion: The Persian version of the PASIPD has acceptable reliability and validity for assessing the physical activity of persons with LLAs.

The Haitian zombie motif: against the banality of antiblack violence

The circulation and consumption of the images of suffering and lifeless black bodies is a longstanding feature of US visual media. Since each archive of suffering and dead black bodies operates within specific histories, discourses, and affective relationships, this article examines a particular collection of images: the Time magazine photos of the 2010 Haiti earthquake victims. The article argues that the photos evoke the uncanny by using the Haitian zombie motif – an image of ‘monstrous’ black racial difference. The article traces the photos’ elicitation of the uncanny in two ways: one, it highlights how the images produce self/other slippages and thus affirm the uncanny; and two, it examines the insidious and violent ways these slippages dehumanize, dismember, and dispossess those depicted to produce a ‘negative familiarity’ for the non-black observer, thus lending to the banality of antiblack violence. The article ends with a call for ‘radical empathy’ to combat this violence.

Gender Differences in Psychosocial and Physical Outcomes in Haitian Amputees

Abstract: Services for psychosocial adjustment are critical for traumatic amputees and should be incorporated into rehabilitation programs after a disaster. Interventions should consider gender roles in the indigenous culture.
