چکیده

recent studies show significant reduction of postural stability in transtibial amputees (ttas) especially when a perturbation is applied. however, no record has been seen on the consequences of such perturbation on the stump-socket interface pressure (ssip). our objective was to investigate whether such perturbation impose excessive pressures on the stump. we were also interested on the type of the response and direction in which tas may face more difficulties. a 52-year-old ta participated in the study. the trial was performed using a custom bidirectional perturbing mechanism in the pitch and roll axes of ankle. center of pressure and were recorded by two force platforms and five resistive pressure sensors respectively. right and anterior perturbations imposed the maximum ssip while several cop measures were considerably greater for the prosthetic leg just in left perturbations. this supports the necessity of measurement of ssip as well as cop to provide a better understanding about the new situations of tas in postural stability

Stump-socket interface pressure as an aid to socket design in prostheses for trans-femoral amputees--a preliminary study.

A system for measuring the stump-socket interface pressure was designed and built using a strain gauged type load cell. The system was utilized to study the pressure distribution in the quadrilateral and ischial containment type sockets. Two volunteer trans-femoral amputees fitted with both types of socket participated in the experiments. Pressures were measured while the subjects were standing...

Dynamic interface pressure distributions of two transtibial prosthetic socket concepts.

In this study, we investigated and compared the dynamic interface pressure distribution of hands-off and hands-on transtibial prosthetic systems by means of pressure mapping. Of the 48 established unilateral amputees recruited, half (n = 24) had been wearing pressure-cast prostheses (IceCast Compact) and the other half (n = 24) had been wearing hand-cast sockets of the patellar tendon bearing d...

Perception of socket alignment perturbations in amputees with transtibial prostheses.

A person with amputation's subjective perception is the only tool available to describe fit and comfort to a prosthetist. However, few studies have investigated the effect of alignment on this perception. The aim of this article is to determine whether people with amputation could perceive the alignment perturbations of their prostheses and effectively communicate them. A randomized controlled ...

The Capability of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors to Measure Amputees' Trans-Tibial Stump/Socket Interface Pressures

This study presents the first investigation into the capability of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors to measure interface pressure between the stump and the prosthetic sockets of a trans-tibial amputee. FBG element(s) were recoated with and embedded in a thin layer of epoxy material to form a sensing pad, which was in turn embedded in a silicone polymer material to form a pressure sensor. The s...

Review of the Socket Design and Interface Pressure Measurement for Transtibial Prosthesis

Socket is an important part of every prosthetic limb as an interface between the residual limb and prosthetic components. Biomechanics of socket-residual limb interface, especially the pressure and force distribution, have effect on patient satisfaction and function. This paper aimed to review and evaluate studies conducted in the last decades on the design of socket, in-socket interface pressu...

Interface pressure in transtibial socket during ascent and descent on stairs and its effect on patient satisfaction.

BACKGROUND Transtibial amputees encounter stairs and steps during their daily activities. The excessive pressure between residual limb/socket may reduce the walking capability of transtibial prosthetic users during ascent and descent on stairs. The purposes of the research were to evaluate the interface pressure between Dermo (shuttle lock) and Seal-In X5 (prosthetic valve) interface systems du...
