Substantial evidence suggests that the design and associated mechanical function of lower-limb prostheses affects user health and mobility, supporting common standards of clinical practice for appropriate matching of prosthesis design and user needs. This matching process is dependent on accurate and reliable methods for the functional classification of prosthetic components. The American Ortho...

BACKGROUND Currently, it is challenging to treat massive bone defects of proximal tibia. Although numerous methods are available for reconstruction with epiphysis preservation, limitations in knee function and complications are noted with these methods. Our paper describes our attempt to reconstruct a marked defect in the proximal tibia with an uncemented three-dimensional (3D)-printed prosthes...

Recently, physical diagnosis and human motion analysis have become active research topics in bioelectronics, they a broad range of applications, such as pathology detection, rehabilitation, prosthesis design, biometric identification, humanoid robotic locomotion [...]

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is increasingly used for the treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures and fracture sequelae. In 2021, half a dozen models stems are commercially available, reflecting its growing utility management. Prosthesis designs, bone grafting tuberosity fixation techniques have evolved to allow better more reliable tuberosities bony ingrowth. Patients wit...

Different techniques can be used to design and manufacture a full-arch, implant-supported prosthesis, different materials chosen for its production, each with advantages limitations. One of the possibilities provided by digital tools is their ability maintain low costs give more patients chance choose this commonly expensive treatment. The present work aims protocol realization implant-fixed co...

Abstract As the essential technology of human-robotics interactive wearable devices, robotic knee prosthesis can provide above-knee amputations with functional compensations to realize their physical and psychological social regression. With development mechanical mechatronic science technology, fully active that subjects actuating torques has demonstrated a better wearing performance in slope ...

In view of the anticipated activity of the patient and working environment, lightweight prostheses were designed for an adult female, bilateral below-elbow (BE) amputee at NIRTAR to provide the greatest degree of function. The prostheses were fabricated using lightweight materials and new techniques. Depending on the stump length there were two different types of lightweight prostheses designed...

Heterogeneous objects are composed of different constituent materials. In these objects, material properties from different constituent materials are synthesized into one part. Therefore, heterogeneous objects can offer new material properties and functionalities. The task of modeling material heterogeneity (composition variation) is a critical issue in the design and fabrication of such hetero...

Materials and Methods: Seventy-six patients who received two or four interforaminal implants were assigned to one of three different bar designs and subsequently to different prosthesis supporting systems. Forty-nine patients received implants and a mucosa-supported implantretained overdenture (OD) with an ovoid bar (two implants; design 1) or multiple ovoid bars (four implants; design 2). Twen...

Background: Clear and effective communication between dentists technicians is a requirement for getting the right color obtaining good prosthesis. Purpose: To find out procedure selecting communicating of fixed prosthesis performed by in Jakarta. Methods: This research method descriptive observational study with cross-sectional design 96 respondents. The data was collected through questionnaire...
