Abstract

The replacement of the lower leg with a transtibial prosthesis poses a high biomechanical challenge for the surrounding body structures: Loads that are usually distributed across the skeletal system are now transferred to the prosthesis via soft tissues. Since those tissue layers are not physiologically adapted to be weight-bearing structures, amputees might develop Deep Tissue Injuries (DTI). To gain a better understanding of the underlying processes and population-specific influences, we aimed to map out and analyse existing research on aetiology and risk factors for DTI in transtibial amputees, and highlight open questions.
