It is identical with ISO8548-3:1993 Prosthetics and orthotics Limb deficiencies Part 3: Method of d
11、escribing upper limb amputation stumps, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Many different systems have been developed to classify amputation stumps, but none has achieved universal acceptance. The reasons for this are many. The members of the clinic teams in diffe
12、rent countries, working with different patients and different technical possibilities, develop their own systems to meet their individual needs. Hence there is a need for an international system to be developed in order to compare one publication with another, one patient against another. The differ
13、ent care groups who will appreciate and use a standardized system of describing stumps include surgeons of different disciplines, other doctors (especially those concerned with rehabilitation), physical and occupational therapists and prosthetists. Such a system is also of value to epidemiologists a
14、nd government health officials. The system proposed has to meet the needs of the different members of the clinic team and to enable the description of the stump to be recorded in a way that can be easily incorporated in reports. This Part of BS7313 deliberately aims at defining the minimum informati
15、on to be described. It should be feasible for this information to be included in forms designed by the individual institution; the information should also be capable of ready adaptation for computer analysis. Other Parts and Sections of BS7313 include: Part 1: Terminology; Section 1.1: Glossary of g
16、eneral terms relating to external limb prostheses and external orthoses; Section 1.2: Glossary of terms relating to external limb prostheses and wearers of external limb prostheses; Section 1.3: Glossary of terms relating to external orthoses; Part 2: Method of describing limb deficiencies present a
17、t birth; Part 3: Method of describing lower limb amputation stumps. Additional information. Note that the expressions “joint power” and “muscle power” are used in4.3. These are terms commonly used in medical texts. A more scientifically correct description would be the strength and/or endurance of t
18、he muscles acting at the joint.

26、ntify the reference levels and planes relevant to the particular level of amputation as described in4.1.1 and4.1.2, preferably with the patient standing erect and with the stump hanging unconstrained. 4.1.1 Reference levels 4.1.1.1 Axilla level the most proximal level at which a circumferential meas
27、urement, perpendicular to the centreline of the upper arm, can be obtained. 4.1.1.2 Medial epicondyle level the level of the medial epicondyle of the humerus. 4.1.1.3 Stump end level the level of the end of the stump. 4.1.1.4 Ulnar styloid level the level of the tip of the ulnar styloid in wrist dis
28、articulation stumps and on the contralateral limb. 4.1.1.5 Bone end level the level of the bone end in trans-humeral and trans-radial amputation stumps. 4.1.1.6 Minimum circumferential level the level of the minimum circumferential measurement in elbow disarticulation stumps. 4.1.2 Reference planes
29、4.1.2.1 Posterior ulnar plane the plane of the posterior aspect of the shaft of the ulna, parallel with the centreline of the forearm when the elbow is flexed at90 . 4.1.2.2 Anterior elbow crease plane the plane perpendicular to the centreline of the forearm at the level of the anterior elbow crease
30、 with the elbow flexed at90 . 4.2 Measurements 4.2.1 Length measurements Measure and record the length measurements as specified in the appropriate table (seeTable 1 toTable 7) for the particular level of amputation. 4.2.2 Circumferential measurements Measure and record the circumferential measureme
31、nts as specified in the appropriate table (seeTable 1 toTable 7) for the particular level of amputation. 4.3 Assessment of joint function 4.3.1 General The aspects of joint function which need to be recorded include abnormalities of range of joint movement, significant reduction of muscle power and
32、any loss of joint stability. 4.3.2 Measurement of abnormal range of joint movement Record any abnormalities of the range of joint movement using the method of measurement of joint motion as adopted by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in1964 in which all motions of the joint are measured
33、from defined zero starting positions. 4.3.3 Assessment of joint power Record any reduction of muscle power likely to affect performance significantly. NOTE 1Muscle power can be measured objectively but requires expensive and bulky apparatus which is inapplicable here. The scales relating to measurem
34、ents of power in poliomyelitis cases are equally inappropriate. The subjective judgement as to whether there is significant reduction of power or not has to be based on an appreciation as to whether the power demonstrated would be sufficient to stabilize the proximal joint with the stump in a well-f
35、itted socket.BS7313-4:1993 2 BSI 10-1999 4.3.4 Assessment of joint stability Record an assessment of the joint stability. NOTE 2It is recognized that the stability of a joint is a function of the integrity of the skeletal, ligamentous and neuro-muscular elements. In the context of this part of ISO85
36、48, the recording of the joint instability refers solely to bony and/or ligamentous impairments and their consequences. 5 Method of describing upper limb amputation stump 5.1 General Describe the stump using the relevant descriptors listed in the appropriate tables (seeTable 1 to Table 7), and by th
37、e use of the guidance given inAnnex A. 5.2 Forequarter amputation Use the descriptors shown inTable 1. 5.3 Shoulder disarticulation Use the descriptors shown inTable 2. NOTE 3Shoulder disarticulation refers either to amputation at the scapula-humeral joint or to amputation above the upper reference
38、level as described for the usual trans-humeral level (see5.4). 5.4 Trans-humeral amputation (above-elbow) Use the descriptors shown inTable 3. NOTE 4The upper reference level for length measurements is the axilla but, in the case of a flexion deformity, the upper reference level for length would be
39、the highest level at which a circumferential measurement is possible at right angles to the centreline of the stump. 5.5 Elbow disarticulation Use the descriptors shown inTable 4. NOTE 5The upper reference level for length measurements is the axilla but, in the case of a flexion deformity, the upper
40、 reference level for length would be the highest level at which a circumferential measurement is possible at right angles to the centreline of the stump. 5.6 Trans-radial amputation (below-elbow) Use the descriptors shown inTable 5. NOTE 6The upper reference level for length measurements is the medi
41、al epicondyle but, in the case of a flexion deformity, the upper reference level for length would be the highest level at which a circumferential measurement is possible at right angles to the centreline of the stump. 5.7 Wrist disarticulation Use the descriptors shown inTable 6. NOTE 7The upper ref
42、erence level for length measurements is the medial epicondyle but, in the case of a flexion deformity, the upper reference level for length would be the highest level at which a circumferential measurement is possible at right angles to the centreline of the stump. 5.8 Partial hand amputation Use th
43、e descriptors shown inTable 7. Describe the abnormality of the hand remnant in terms of deformity, range of movements and power, stability and overall function.BS7313-4:1993 BSI 10-1999 3 Table 1 Descriptors for recording forequarter amputations (see5.2 andAnnex A) Descriptor Statements to be record
