[Functional diagnosis of the foot ischemic contracture]
Abstract:
Correlation analysis between severity of the foot ischemic contracture (FIC) and the degree of its function disorder was conducted. The 100-point scale of H. B. Kitaoka was applied for investigation of functional disorders, the FIC severity was estimated according to A. P. Lyabakh, S. S. Strafun (1994) classification. The results obtained have witnessed the dependence of the foot functional state in a residual state from the ischemia severity, what is confirmed by Cruscal - Wallice and Dann criteria. Low indices in patients with a mild B and moderate A FIC severity were caused by impact of some factors, which were noncontrolled by the system of the point estimation, including such as the ischemic affection of own foot muscles.
