After admission and initial diagnosis, the calculated antibiotics therapy and initial surgical rehabilitation of the right foot took place. After stabilization and control of the infection, the minor amputation was performed at the Bona-J\u00e4ger line without primary wound closure, wound care was provided by vacuum sealing. Complicated by pre-existing peroneal paralysis of the contralateral leg following herniated disc, mobilization could be accomplished out of the wheelchair using a novel \u201cfree-hand\u201d orthesis \u201ciWALK 2.0\u201d and a walker with physiotherapeutic support. Thus, while simultaneously relieving the operated foot, self-sufficient mobilization at a later time was possible. This gave the patient a positive attitude to life in addition to more independence.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion The successful application of the \u201cfree-hand\u201d site \u201ciWALK 2.0\u201d under the listed clinical constellation thus suggests that it is a clear alternative of \u201cpostoperative rehabilitation\u201d in the diagnosis of a surgically treated diabetic foot gangrene after minor amputation with a consolidated wound while ultimately serving to achieve a more comprehensive level of experience for targeted use with a clearly defined indication.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-0871-2612","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,4]],"date-time":"2019-06-04T19:13:48Z","timestamp":1559675628000},"page":"75-80","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Alternative Mobilization by Means of a Novel Orthesis in Patients after Amputation"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"158","author":[{"given":"Udo","family":"Barth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery Division, Department of General, Visceral, Vascular and Transplantation Surgery, Magdeburg University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klaus","family":"Wasseroth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General, Visceral and Vascular Surgery, AMEOS Klinikum Sch\u00f6nebeck"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zuhir","family":"Halloul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery Division, Department of General, Visceral, Vascular and Transplantation Surgery, Magdeburg University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery Division, Department of General, Visceral, Vascular and Transplantation Surgery, Magdeburg University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,4]]},"container-title":["Zeitschrift f\u00fcr Orthop\u00e4die und Unfallchirurgie"],"original-title":[],"language":"de","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/a-0871-2612.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,13]],"date-time":"2020-02-13T19:03:41Z","timestamp":1581620621000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/a-0871-2612"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,4]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,13]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,2]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/a-0871-2612","relation":{},"ISSN":["1864-6697","1864-6743"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1864-6697","type":"print"},{"value":"1864-6743","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,4]]}}}
