“…Lower limb amputation (LLA) is a common cause of disability and has a significant global impact on the morbidity of amputees [1,2]. The principal etiological factor is diabetes mellitus, followed by peripheral vascular disease, tumors, orthopedic anomalies, and postoperative embolism [2]. LLA is responsible for physical limitations that can induce restrictions in the functional abilities in the activities of daily living (ADL) of amputees, which can become debilitating via the loss of their independence.…”

“…LLA is responsible for physical limitations that can induce restrictions in the functional abilities in the activities of daily living (ADL) of amputees, which can become debilitating via the loss of their independence. These individuals fundamentally face a functional problem, with the restriction of independent movements in their daily routine, leading to increased dependence [2].…”

Lower limb amputation affects several parameters of a patient’s life. Family caregivers providing care for these patients experience multiple feelings and needs; knowing caregivers’ needs is essential to prepare them for this new role, as well as the health planning of this type of care. This scoping review aimed to identify and map the needs of family caregivers of people with lower limb amputations. This scoping review was conducted in accordance with the JBI methodological framework and the PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines. A bibliographical search was carried out on the needs of family caregivers of lower limb amputees in 15 databases. Two independent reviewers extracted data using a data extraction tool developed for this scoping review. Eight studies were included in the present review (n = 6 quantitative studies; n = 2 reviews). Results indicate that family caregivers of people with lower limb amputations may experience an extensive range of needs, as follows: (i) mental health and psychological support, (ii) physical health, (iii) health and well-being, (iv) supportive care, (v) social support, and (vi) educational/informational support. The needs identified in this review can help to develop interventions and programs that provide better support during the situational transition process.

A novel approach is presented in this study for the classification of lower limb disorders, with a specific emphasis on the knee, hip, and ankle. The research employs gait analysis and the extraction of PoseNet features from video data in order to effectively identify and categorize these disorders. The PoseNet algorithm facilitates the extraction of key body joint movements and positions from videos in a non-invasive and user-friendly manner, thereby offering a comprehensive representation of lower limb movements. The features that are extracted are subsequently standardized and employed as inputs for a range of machine learning algorithms, such as Random Forest, Extra Tree Classifier, Multilayer Perceptron, Artificial Neural Networks, and Convolutional Neural Networks. The models undergo training and testing processes using a dataset consisting of 174 real patients and normal individuals collected at the Tehsil Headquarter Hospital Sadiq Abad. The evaluation of their performance is conducted through the utilization of K-fold cross-validation. The findings exhibit a notable level of accuracy and precision in the classification of various lower limb disorders. Notably, the Artificial Neural Networks model achieves the highest accuracy rate of 98.84%. The proposed methodology exhibits potential in enhancing the diagnosis and treatment planning of lower limb disorders. It presents a non-invasive and efficient method of analyzing gait patterns and identifying particular conditions.

Background: Mobility is a major goal of prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation, and use of outcome measures to evaluate mobility is necessary for good clinical practice. To support the use of outcome measures worldwide, work is needed to translate relevant instruments and adapt them for use in multiple cultures. Objectives: The objective of this research was to use a standardized method to translate the Locomotor Capabilities Index-5 (LCI-5) into Khmer, the national language in Cambodia, and to evaluate its cultural integrity by assessing it with a group of prosthesis and orthosis users. Study design: Instrument translation and cultural validation. Methods: Two forward translations of the LCI-5 were produced and then reconciled into a single document. The Khmer version was back translated into English, and a group of experts reviewed the back translation. Two rounds of cognitive interviews were conducted with lower-limb prosthetic and orthotic users who provided feedback. Results: During the reconciliation process, minor changes were made to 6 of the 14 items. Changes were most often made to better reflect the conceptual meaning of the original English version. Cognitive interviews resulted in the addition of a new response alternative. Conclusions: Use of a standardized method to translate the LCI-5 resulted in a linguistically and culturally valid Khmer version of the instrument. Following appropriate psychometric testing, this instrument will facilitate measurement of mobility in prosthetic and orthotic clinical practice in Cambodia as well as support national and multinational research.
