The impact of body mass index on rehabilitation outcomes after lower limb amputation.

Purpose: To determine the effect of obesity on physical function and clinical outcome measures in patients who received inpatient rehabilitation services for lower extremity amputation.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed on patients with lower extremity amputation (n = 951). Patients were stratified into five categories adjusted for limb loss mass across different levels of healthy body mass index (BMI), overweight, and obesity.

Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation as Treatment for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome of the Foot Refractory to Spinal Cord Stimulation: A Case Report.

The ACCURATE study demonstrated non-inferiority and superiority of dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) over traditional spinal cord stimulation (t-SCS) in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Yet, its efficacy in patients who had previously failed SCS therapy is unknown. A mid-60-year-old-male patient with right foot CRPS previously implanted with SCS system experienced relapse in pain.
