AMPUTATION-INCREASED ENERGY COST
From NeuroRehab.wiki
SUMMARY
1. Ankle disarticulation: 15%
2. Traumatic TTA: 25%
3. Vascular TTA: 40%
4. Traumatic TFA: 68%
5. Vascular TFA: 100%
6. Huang et al.: a bilateral TFA expends 300% the energy cost of ambulation of a normal person.
NB: Important in vasculopaths as their cardiovascular reserve is limited.
