OBJECTIVE: To compare the postural control of @entity1 with a dysvascular transtibial amputation and traumatic transtibial amputation with able-bodied adults with and without a @entity558 in altered sensory testing conditions. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: University balance clinic. @entity1 : The study @entity1 (N=35) included: @entity1 with a dysvascular transtibial amputation (n=9), @entity1 with a traumatic transtibial amputation (n=9), age-matched able-bodied adults without a @entity558 (n=9), and able-bodied adults with a @entity558 (n=8). INTERVENTIONS: Six Sensory Organization Test (SOT) conditions, which included standing with eyes open (condition 1) and closed (condition 2) on a static force platform with visual surround; standing with eyes open on a static force platform with movable visual surround (condition 3); standing with eyes open (condition 4) and closed (condition 5) on a movable force platform with static visual surround; and standing with eyes open on a movable force platform with movable visual surround (condition 6). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Bilateral anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) center of pressure variables, namely root mean square distance (RMSD) and mean velocity (mVel), for each of the 6 SOT conditions. RESULTS: The dysvascular transtibial amputation group demonstrated a higher AP RMSD (P <=.04) on the sound side than did the able-bodied adults without a @entity558 and the able-bodied adults with a @entity558 in SOT conditions 1 and 2, respectively. Both the dysvascular transtibial amputation group and the traumatic transtibial amputation group demonstrated a higher AP RMSD (P <=.002) than the able-bodied adults without a @entity558 in SOT conditions 3 and 4. The dysvascular transtibial amputation group showed higher AP mVel (P <=.002) on the sound side for SOT conditions 2 and 3, whereas both amputation groups showed higher AP mVel for SOT conditions 1 and 4 than the able-bodied adults with and without a @entity558 . CONCLUSIONS: Postural control of the dysvascular transtibial amputation group was not different than the traumatic transtibial amputation group in challenging sensory conditions. However, when compared with the groups of able-bodied adults with and without a @entity558 , postural strategies distinct with amputation etiology were observed.
