  • Title: Double disability of hemiplegia and hip disarticulation: rehabilitation outcome.
    Author: Philip PA, Philip M, Wiesner S.
    Journal: Arch Phys Med Rehabil; 1989 Dec; 70(13):916-7. PubMed ID: 2596968.
    Abstract:
    Double disability of hemiplegia and hip disarticulation is uncommon. To our knowledge, there are no reports of such patients and their rehabilitation outcomes. We report on a patient with hemiplegia and hip disarticulation who became independent in prosthetic ambulation and activities of daily living. Motivation, age, good neuromuscular status, and past successful prosthetic use favored the excellent rehabilitation outcome in this patient.
