Abstract:
Objective To compare the energy expenditure of a hemicorporectomy amputee moving with different mobility devices.
Methods A middle-aged male hemicorporectomy amputee was measured with cardiopulmonary exercise test when moving with 4 kinds of transport: socket, cart, wheelchair, and prosthesis. Results The patient moved the slowest with prosthesis, fastest with wheelchair. The heart rate was the highest with prosthesis and lowest with cart. The absolute oxygen consumption, the relative volume of oxygen consumption and metabolic (Mets) were the most when hand walking with socket, and lowest with cart. Conclusion Hand walking with socket costs the largest energy when walking, and the rest are prosthesis, wheelchair, and cart.
