| Résumé : | Objective: To evaluate the effect of age on functional outcomes at discharge from prosthetic rehabilitation. Design: Retrospective chart audit. Setting: Rehabilitation hospital. Participants: Individuals ?50 years with a transtibial level lower limb amputation (LLA) and above admitted to the inpatient prosthetic rehabilitation program from 2012 to 2019 (n=504). A secondary analysis included a subset of matched participants (n=156). Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: The L-Test of Functional Mobility (L-Test), 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT), 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale. Results: A total of 504 participants (66.7+10.1 years) met the inclusion criteria, 63 participants (84.9+3.7 years) were part of the oldest old group. The sample was stratified into 4 age groups (50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80+) for data analysis. The analysis of variances were statistically significant for all outcome measures (P<.001 post-hoc testing for the l-test and demonstrated that oldest old had significantly reduced performance compared with people years but there were no significant differences between p=".802)," age groups. reported lower balance confidence all groups conclusion: achieved similar functional mobility outcomes as most common group of an lla. advanced alone should not disqualify individuals from prosthetic rehabilitation.> |
