Sand-casting technique for trans-tibial prostheses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A sand-casting technique for trans-tibial sockets was applied to 28 amputees, and the prosthetic fit observed through transparent check sockets. The results were better than historical reports of fittings with plaster of Paris casting by qualified prosthetists. The fit was consistently and evenly larger than the stump, but total contact could be achieved by applying three (two to five) stump socks. This would normally be considered on the high side of a good fit.

CAD CAM trans-tibial temporary prosthesis: analysis and comparison with an established technique.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the application of CAD CAM in the production of temporary trans-tibial prostheses. The CAD CAM system was assessed based on the number of socket attempts, number of prosthetic appointments, and temporary prosthesis rehabilitation time. These parameters were considered to be related to the quality of socket fit and were influenced by the entire interdisc...
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...

Below knee amputation, which is noticed as one of the most common lower extremity amputations, is caused as a result of various factors like trauma, disease, or congenital limb deficiencies. In order to take these amputees back to daily life, below knee prostheses are used as an alternate to original limb. Comfort and patients’ satisfaction with prostheses are directly related to each prost...
متن کاملA new biomechanical method for determination of static prosthetic alignment.
A new static alignment method for trans-tibial prostheses is suggested using the individual load line as a reference. Standing posture and static alignment of 18 experienced trans-tibial prosthetic users with good walking ability were determined and compared with 20 healthy persons. The individual load line was defined by means of the new Otto Bock alignment system "L.A.S.A.R. Posture". The sag...
متن کاملRelaxed versus activated stump muscles during casting for trans-tibial prostheses.
In prosthetic practice, the question often arises as to whether the hand cast should be made from a contracted or from a non-contracted amputation stump. To elucidate this question, the authors have performed a study to quantify the volume difference between these 2 conditions, and to relate the differences to prosthetic fitting. Sixteen (16) trans-tibial amputees participated in the study. All...
