Filter by:Lip support plays an important role in facial esthetics, being a relevant factor when realizing full arch implant supported rehabilitations. However, there is a lack of research on the three dimensional impact of such restorations.
Correlation between hernias reparation in patients who have received a kidney transplant. The investigators will analyze the data of patients who have been treated for reparation of incisional hernia after kidney transplantation with or without the placement of a prosthesis.
Study assessing four-channel prosthesis controller, that compares contralateral (mirrored) EMG-force training to ipsilateral EMG-target training with both limb-absent and able-bodied subjects
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a voice activated prosthesis interface controller for functional outcomes as compared to standard prosthesis control.
This study is designed to learn more about decision making for prosthetic design, with the goal of producing a decision making aid for prosthetic design decisions.
The comfort and fit of the residual limb within a prosthetic socket are of primary concern for many amputees. The residual limb is typically covered by non-breathable and non- thermally conductive materials that can create a warm and ultimately moist environment. To address this, Liberating Technologies, Inc. (LTI) and Vivonics, Inc. have developed a thermo-electric cooling (TEC)-based module called the Intrasocket Cooling Element (ICE), that can be embedded into the prosthesis in order to cool the residual limb. A technology that can provide thermal control while retaining adequate suspension, weight and other prosthetic characteristics would benefit many prosthesis wearers.
The comfort and fit of the residual limb within a prosthetic socket are of primary concern for many amputees. The residual limb is typically covered by non-breathable and non- thermally conductive materials that can create a warm and ultimately moist environment. The investigators have developed a silicone liner approach to remove sweat from the skin and out of the socket and to passively conduct heat from the skin using thermally conductive elastomers. This liner has been developed to work alongside a thermo-electric cooling (TEC)-based module called the Intrasocket Cooling Element (ICE) developed in a parallel project by Vivonics, Inc. and Liberating Technologies, Inc. The ICE device can be embedded into the prosthesis in order to cool the residual limb. A technology that can provide thermal control while retaining adequate suspension, weight, and other prosthetic characteristics would benefit many prosthesis wearers.
The primary objective of this investigation is to evaluate how the CONNECT TF compares to traditional handmade sockets, specifically that it provides reliable suspension and improved usability and comfort for the amputee, and that it enables single clinical visit for fitting.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of myo-electric training tools on prosthesis functional outcomes.
The loss of an eye, whether congenital or acquired, is a severe psychological trauma with negative impact on the quality of life of the patient. While rehabilitation with a customized ocular prosthesis anatomically restores the facial appearance, the final outcome is largely determined by the subjective satisfaction of the patient. By investigating the level of subjective perception, the quality of care can be improved.
