A functional evaluation of prosthetic foot kinematics during lower-limb amputee gait.
This paper reports on a functional evaluation of prosthetic feet based on gait analysis. The aim is to analyse prosthetic feet behaviour under loads applied during gait in order to quantify user benefits for each foot. Ten traumatic amputees (six trans-tibial and four trans-femoral) were tested using their own prosthetic foot. An original protocol is presented to calculate the forefoot kinemati...
متن کاملLower limb amputee survival.
A total of 1710 primary amputees have been studied over a 25 year period and their survival time has been calculated. These were all consecutive primary lower limb amputees admitted to the Dundee Limb Fitting Centre during the period 1965-1989. Overall, the median survival was 4 yr 9 mth for the below-knee amputee (1019 patients) and 4 yr 3 mth for the above-knee amputee (586 patients). The vas...
متن کاملEngineering a trans-tibial prosthetic socket for the lower limb amputee.
INTRODUCTION This review addresses the different prosthetic socket designs for trans-tibial amputees, the biomechanics behind the designs and the current state of the field. Of particular focus is the classic patella-tendon bearing (PTB) socket and the more recent sockets manufactured using pressure casting techniques and the theory, biomechanics and clinical implications of the two designs. Me...
متن کاملThe prosthetic treatment of lower limb deficiency.
The prosthesis required for a child with a transverse deficiency whilst a simple version of that appropriate for the adult follows the same principles. The child with a longitudinal deficiency may require an extension, or orthoprosthesis and this may be combined with surgical reconstruction. The principles, technique of measurement and fabrication methods using both traditional and modern compo...
متن کاملConsistency and accuracy of measurement of lower-limb amputee anthropometrics.
Lower-limb amputees often exhibit large fluctuation in residual-limb shape, necessitating careful observation and anthropometric measurement for prosthetists to ensure socket fit. Anthropometric measurement may become more important as an outcome measure indicating success in rehabilitation. This study investigated the accuracy and reliability of seven prosthetic anthropometric measurement devi...
