Musculoskeletal Complaints in Transverse Upper Limb Reduction Deficiency and Amputation in The Netherlands: Prevalence, Predictors, and Effect on Health
Sietke G Postema,Raoul M. Bongers,Michael A H Brouwers,Helena Burger,Liselotte M. Norling-Hermansson,Michiel F. Reneman,Pieter U. Dijkstra,Corry K. van der Sluis +7 more
TL;DR: Presence of MSCs is a frequent problem in individuals with upper limb absence and is associated with decreased general and mental health, and MSC-related disability increases with age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upper Limb Absence: Predictors of Work Participation and Work Productivity
Sietke G Postema,Raoul M. Bongers,Michael A H Brouwers,Helena Burger,Liselotte M. Norling-Hermansson,Michiel F. Reneman,Pieter U. Dijkstra,Corry K. van der Sluis +7 more
TL;DR: Male sex, younger age, a medium or higher level of education, prosthesis use, and good general health were predictors of work participation, and work productivity did not differ between individuals with RD, AA, and controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Musculoskeletal complaints in individuals with finger or partial hand amputations in the Netherlands: A cross-sectional study
TL;DR: Regular occurrence of stump sensations and self-reported limited range of motion of the wrist of the affected limb were predictors of developing MSCs in individuals with FPHAs, and clinicians should pay special attention to patients with stump sensations in the presence of these predictors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body structures and physical complaints in Upper Limb Reduction Deficiency : a 24 year follow up study
TL;DR: Patients with unilateral below-elbow reduction deficiency have consistent differences in upper body structures and deviations of the spine, probably of functional origin, do not progress to clinically relevant scoliosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Capacity Evaluation in Upper Limb Reduction Deficiency and Amputation: Development and Pilot Testing.
TL;DR: The newly developed FCE, called FCE-One-Handed (FCE-OH), was pilot tested in 20 adults individuals with ULA, and 20 matched controls and results were not related to MSC.
