Résumé : |
Objectives To determine intermanual transfer effects in patients with a below-elbow amputation using a myoelectric prosthesis and to establish whether laterality affects these effects. Design Case-control. Setting A standardized setting in a rehabilitation clinic. Participants A convenience sample (N=44) of experienced myoelectric prosthesis users (n=22) and matched controls (n=22). Controls were matched on sex, age (+5y), and hand dominance. Interventions Both the experienced group and the control group performed several tasks using a prosthesis simulator attached to their nonaffected arm. Main Outcome Measures Movement time, force control, Box and Block test (BBT) scores, and duration of hand opening. Results Movement times of myoelectric prosthesis users were shorter, and these users had significantly higher BBT scores and shorter hand opening durations than those of controls. No intermanual transfer effects on force control and no laterality effects were found. Conclusions Intermanual transfer effects were present in experienced myoelectric prosthesis users with a below-elbow amputation, independent of laterality. These findings support the clinical relevance of intermanual transfer training, which may facilitate persons with an upper limb amputation to start training directly after the amputation. |
