Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of the mirror therapy on phantom pain for patients with amputation after vascular etiology. the secondary aim are to measure the impact of the mirror therapy on quality of life, sleep disorders, and predictive factors for effectiveness. the design is a prospective study, randomised, blindly evaluated, monocentric. There will be 2 groups: 1) rehabilitation and gabapentine; 2) rehabilitation and gabapentine + mirror therapy during the first 4 weeks. The assessment are going to be preformed at the inclusion day and then every 2 weeks during 8 weeks. the primary evaluation criterion will be the phantom pain measured on a VAS. the delay for inclusion is 18 months in order ton include 40 patients. The length of the study is 20 months.
Targeted Muscle Reinnervation increases the control signals available for commercial arm systems. A new type of control, pattern recognition, has been developed into a form that allows use with commercially available arm system. The goal of this project is a home trial, in which people who have had TMR will try the new controls and the new arm to find out if they are better than what is currently available. Home trials will also allow us to see what needs to be done to make our inventions work even better.
A pilot study comparing the emPOWER Ankle System to standard carbon fiber prosthetic feet, in active seniors.
iFIT Prosthetics, LLC® created and commercialized a modular, immediate fit, fully adjustable, prosthetic system suitable for mass production using high strength injection molded polymer materials. The aim of this project is to assess the design, user satisfaction and feasibility of this device. The investigators will be fitting transtibial and transfemoral amputees with the iFIT prosthetic system. Patients will wear the device for 2 weeks in order to compare the device to their own prosthetic (if they currently have one). They will report any device breakages or adverse events. They will also fill out a questionnaire to determine if the iFIT prosthetic is a feasible option for treating patients with limb loss.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate benefits of a microprocessor controlled prosthetic ankle-foot device compared to a non-microprocessor controlled or passive carbon fiber prosthetic ankle-foot device.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the validity, the reproducibility and the coherence of the French version of the Special Interest Group in Amputee medicine (SIGAM) mobility scale questionnaire in adults with lower-limb amputations.
The double amputation of the forearms is a rare handicap that seriously impacts the autonomy and the quality of life of patients, social and familial exclusion, and dependence on third parties for everyday activities. The management of these patients is nearly exclusively through the use of prostheses. Certain patients refuse this solution, or remain penalized by the absence of sensation, the lack of precision in movements, and body image issues related to the amputation; the double graft of hands and forearms may, in this circumstance, be the only solution. The objective of this pilot study was designed to evaluate the cerebral plasticity of patients who undergo bilateral hand allograph
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine if the Dynamic Socket and Sub-Ischial alternative interface designs improve socket comfort, residual limb health, increase function and be preferred over the standard of care Ischial Ramus Containment (IRC) interface for the military and veteran living with transfemoral limb loss.
This pilot study will use mobile-health technology to deliver an intervention designed for lasting physical activity behavior change. The study will assess the feasibility of using the Physical Activity Behavior Change(PABC) intervention for Veterans with lower limb amputation. This intervention will be delivered using wrist-worn wearable activity sensors and a home-based tablet computer to allow real-time physical activity feedback and video interface between the participants and the therapist.
The overall objective of this study is to provide a more comfortable and functional prosthetic socket for persons with transfemoral amputation that will ultimately improve their quality of life.
