Suspension effect and dynamic evaluation of the total surface bearing (TSB) trans-tibial prosthesis: a comparison with the patellar tendon bearing (PTB) trans-tibial prosthesis.
X-ray and cineradiography measurements were used to compare the suspension effect and stability of a TSB trans-tibial prosthesis with an Icelandic Roll-On Silicone Socket (ICEROSS) system to that of a PTB trans-tibial prosthesis. The suspension effect was measured by the distance between the tibia and the socket in both suspension position and weight-bearing position in both type of prostheses....

متن کاملSome experience with patellar-tendon-bearing below-knee prostheses.
AN THE latter part of 1958, prothetists of the Limb and Brace Section of the U. S. Veterans Administration Prosthetics Center, New York City, were indoctrinated in the technique of fabricating the patellar-tendon-bearing (PTB) cuff-suspension below-knee prosthesis. Preliminary experience encouraged VAPC to institute in the spring of 1959 a form of clinical study. Selection of the patients fitte...
