Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

443
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study on lower limb amputee therapy at Sørlandet Hospital found most patients achieved good function with prostheses. Advanced age, transfemoral amputation, and substance abuse impacted walk-test times.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
  • Amputee Rehabilitation
  • Prosthetic Use

Background:

  • Post-2004 restructuring of services at Sørlandet Hospital Kristiansand.
  • Focus on therapy outcomes for lower limb amputees.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of physical medicine and rehabilitation therapy for lower limb amputees.
  • To assess functional outcomes and prosthetic use at 3-month and 1-year follow-ups.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective follow-up of 50 lower limb amputees (54 amputations) between March 2012 and July 2015.
  • Data collection included amputation level, age, comorbidities, pre-operative mobility, surgical technique (myodesis), and rehabilitation transfer.
  • Functional outcomes assessed via prosthetic use, walk-test time, and living situation at 3 months and 1 year.

Main Results:

  • High prosthetic use at 3 months (48/50 patients) and 1 year (32/35 attendees).
  • Average walk-test times improved from 21 seconds at 3 months to 18 seconds at 1 year.
  • Factors associated with longer walk-test times included advanced age, transfemoral amputation, and substance abuse.

Conclusions:

  • The physical medicine and rehabilitation therapy program for lower limb amputees is functioning satisfactorily.
  • Most patients achieve a good level of functional recovery and prosthetic utilization.
  • Identifying risk factors like advanced age, amputation level, and substance abuse can inform targeted interventions.
