Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of classical Chopart prosthesis and silicone prosthesis on socket comfort, satisfaction level and quality of life in patients with unilateral Chopart amputation.
Liberating Technologies, Inc. (LTI) has developed Pointdexter, a dexterous prosthetic fingertip that is integrated into a commercial prosthetic hand and allows for an additional fine grasp. The Pointdexter device interfaces with upper limb prostheses by swapping the usual prosthetic pointer finger with the Pointdexter device. The dexterous prosthetic fingertip utilizes the same control strategy used to operate the prosthetic hand. This solution aims to combine the advantages of the common terminal devices into one product by combining the practicality and dexterity of a split-hook or gripper with the aesthetics of multi-articulating hands.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of hip muscle thicknesses measured by ultrasonography with hip flexion and extension strength and clinical parameters in prosthesis users with unilateral traumatic transfemoral amputation.
The aim of this study was to investigate MIC and non-MIC prostheses in terms of gait pattern and energy consumption in above-the-knee amputee patients.
The purpose of this research study is to see how well a new type of myoelectric prosthesis works. A myoelectric prosthesis is a robotic limb for amputees that is controlled by sensing the activity of muscles in the body above the amputation level. This study involves a medical procedure to implant the Myoelectric Implantable Recording Array (MIRA) in the residual limb. The procedure will be performed under sedation by a physician. When muscles contract, they generate an electrical signal that can be sensed by MIRA and used to control the prosthetic limb. Myoelectric prosthetic limbs normally use electrodes that are placed on the surface of the skin to control different movements. However, MIRA is implanted under the skin, which could improve the ability to control the myoelectric prosthesis. After the MIRA is implanted, training will occur to learn how to control the prosthesis using the muscles in the residual limb. The device can stay implanted for up to one year. The device will be removed (explanted) by a physician.
The aim of this study is to compare the sitting and standing postural stability of transfemoral individuals with healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics.
Glittre activities of daily living test is used in different populations. The test, which is valid and reliable in different populations, has not been validated in amputees. In our study, we wanted to investigate the validity and reliability of the Glittre activities of daily living test (Glittre ADL) test in amputees using a lower extremity prosthesis.
Amputation is the loss or removal of a body part such as an arm or leg. It is the last option in trauma treatment and irreversible procedure. Amputation rehabilitation begins in the pre-amputation period. The goal of rehabilitation after an amputation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life. Many factors can affect the success of lower limb amputation rehabilitation, and stump length is one of them. A sufficient stump length provides a large contact surface and increases the stability of the socket unit.
A trial to compare the performance of the SoftHand Pro (SHP) and Ossur i-Limb in people with transradial limb loss over an 8-week period.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between sagittal spinopelvic parameters and low back pain and quality of life in individuals with lower extremity amputation.
