چکیده

Introduction: The gait has an approximately symmetric pattern which comprises two general phases, stance and swing. Using lower limb prosthesis alters this symmetry. In order to achieve quantitative results, and integrate the results of various researches, this systematic review and meta-analysis of stance time of the gait cycle was carried out. These quantitative results can be a proper tool for the optimal design of prostheses, and reliable prescribing for prosthesis according to physical features of amputees.Materials and Methods: Searching related keywords in valid databases of ScinceDirect, PubMed and IEEE, the researcher found ۹۸ studies out of ۱۳۵۰ investigations carried out between ۲۰۰۷ and ۲۰۱۸, all of which were in line with the systematic review procedures. Finally, due to the qualitative evaluation of selected papers, ۱۵ experimental studies meeting the required criteria were included in the present meta-analysis for further processes of calculation and interpretation of the reasonable effect size.Results: The stance time with the residual limb is ۴.۰۷ percent shorter than the intact limb. Moreover, the control group had less stance phase of ۱.۶۵ percent in comparison with the prosthesis limb. Finally, it was found that the intact limb had approximately ۱.۸۴ percent longer stance time than the control group.Conclusion: According to qualitative results of the present meta-analysis, asymmetry of stance time for amputees in contrast to the control group would be beneficial for evaluating the prosthesis design, improving neuromuscular studies in rehabilitation field, and compensating the walking asymmetry caused by movement problems in prolonged use of prosthesis.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
