摘要:
The purpose of this article is to share the authors' experiences fitting a very young figure skater who has bilateral transtibial amputations with different components during her first seasons of skating as an amputee. Her first ice-skating prostheses incorporated modified articulated feet for children, allowing plantarflexion with some additional dorsiflexion at the ankle. However, more movements and push-off were needed to accommodate jumping and more difficult ice figures.A Dual-Ankle Spring, Multi-Axial Rotation System (D.A.S.-M.A.R.S.) unit with a Seattle Light Foot was then fitted on each prosthesis to provide torsion motion as well as evasion, inversion, plantar- and dorsiflexion. As a result, the subject's ice-skating abilities improved, and more precise movements, jumps and turns were accomplished. Subjectively, these improvements were greatly appreciated by the young skater.
