People with leg amputations, including those with diabetes, run the risk of overuse injuries like osteoarthritis, muscle atrophy or bone breaks in their intact limbs.
Now, new research is quantifying the impacts of amputations and diabetes, a leading cause of amputation, on those overuse injuries. The findings could influence further research on musculoskeletal health and could eventually help improve rehabilitation techniques for people with leg amputation.
The findings, which were recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, were the results of a study conducted by a team of researchers at The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth School of Biomedical Sciences, led by HSC Alumna Graci Finco, PhD, CPO.
