An autologus lower limb prosthesis.
Van Nes rotationplasty is a reconstructive and salvage procedure of the lower limb. The technique replaces the amputated thigh and knee with an autologus biological 'prosthesis', the patient's own ipsilateral ankle, which is rotated 180 degrees and fixed at the level of the contralateral knee. This procedure was first adapted by Borggreve of Germany in 1930 to treat a knee joint destroyed by tu...
متن کاملAssessment of Lower Limb Prosthesis through Wearable Sensors and Thermography
This study aimed to explore the application of infrared thermography in combination with ambulatory wearable monitoring of temperature and relative humidity, to assess the residual limb-to-liner interface in lower-limb prosthesis users. Five male traumatic transtibial amputees were involved, who reported no problems or discomfort while wearing the prosthesis. A thermal imaging camera was used t...
متن کاملProsthesis use in persons with lower- and upper-limb amputation.
This study identified clinical (e.g., etiology) and demographic factors related to prosthesis use in persons with upper- and lower-limb amputation (ULA and LLA, respectively) and the effect of phantom limb pain (PLP) and residual limb pain (RLP) on prosthesis use. A total of 752 respondents with LLA and 107 respondents with ULA completed surveys. Factors related to greater use (hours per day) f...
متن کاملProsthesis and wheelchair use in veterans with lower-limb amputation.
We determined the demographic, health, functional, and satisfaction factors related to lower-limb prosthesis or wheelchair use among veterans with lower-limb amputation. Forty-two veterans were recruited from the 20th National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic and the 26th National Veterans Wheelchair Games. Participants were at least 18 years of age, had a lower-limb amputation, and were ...
متن کاملLower limb prosthesis: final prototype release and control setting methodologies
The current research activity on prostheses project at the Robotics Laboratory (Mechanics Department, Politecnico di Milano) is carried on in cooperation with Centro Protesi INAIL and STMicroelectronics. The team is both innovative and interesting, owing to the fact that it not only involves a range of specialists but also gives rise to interdisciplinary aspects. They are absolutely essential i...
