Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

ISO 8548-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 168, Prosthetics and orthotics.

ISO 8548 consists of the following parts, under the general title Prosthetics and orthotics — Limb deficiencies:

• Part 1: Method of describing limb deficiencies present at birth
• Part 2: Method of describing lower limb amputation stumps
• Part 3: Method of describing upper limb amputation stumps
• Part 4: Description of causal conditions leading to amputation
• Part 5: Description of the clinical condition of the person who has had an amputation

Introduction

The rehabilitation of the person who has had an amputation depends not only on the surgery performed but also on the causes and pathological condition for which amputation was performed, and on other clinical conditions and attributes of the person. The various members of the clinic teams in different countries develop their own nomenclature to record this information. Hence there is a need for an international system to allow comparisons of clinical practice.

The system is designed to meet the needs of the members of the clinic team in assessing the person and evaluating treatment. Such a system allows the description of the person to be recorded in a way that can easily be incorporated in reports and be used for analysis. It would also be of value to epidemiologists and government health officials.

This part of ISO 8548 defines the minimum information to be described.

1 Scope

This part of ISO 8548 establishes a method of describing those attributes of a person who has had an amputation which may affect their rehabilitation.
