Abstract

Most able-bodied amputees use artificial limbs for ambulation. Special considerations are required for persons with coagulopathies because excess pressure or friction may result in soft-tissue haemorrhages. Persons with haemophilia have multi-articular pathologies, hence the necessity to consider carefully the use of accessory walking aids. The use of walking aids results in biomechanical forces being applied through the upper limb joints and this may cause haemarthroses.
