Prosthetic reconstruction for tumours of the distal tibia and fibula. (1/333)

We have carried out prosthetic reconstruction in six patients with malignant or aggressively benign bone tumours of the distal tibia or fibula. The diagnoses were osteosarcoma in four patients, parosteal osteosarcoma in one and recurrent giant-cell tumour in one. Five tumours were in the distal tibia and one in the distal fibula. The mean duration of follow-up was 5.3 years (2.0 to 7.1). Reconstruction was achieved using custom-made, hinged prostheses which replaced the distal tibia and the ankle. The mean range of ankle movement after operation was 31 degrees and the joints were stable. The average functional score according to the system of the International Society of Limb Salvage was 24.2 and five of the patients had a good outcome. Complications occurred in two with wound infection and talar collapse. All patients were free from neoplastic disease at the latest follow-up. Prosthetic reconstruction may be used for the treatment of malignant tumours of the distal tibia and fibula in selected patients.  (+info)

Lengthening of congenital below-elbow amputation stumps by the Ilizarov technique. (2/333)

Patients with short congenital amputations below the elbow often function as if they have had a disarticulation of the elbow. We have reviewed the results in six patients who had lengthening of such stumps by the Ilizarov technique to improve the fitting of prostheses. The mean lengthening was 5.6 cm (3.4 to 8.4), and in two patients flexion contractures of the elbows were corrected simultaneously. Additional lateral distraction was used in one patient to provide a better surface on the stump. There were no major complications. All six patients were able to use their prosthesis at the latest follow-up after 39 to 78 months.  (+info)

Quadrilateral shaped brims made from high-density polyethylene for long leg calipers. (3/333)

Quadrilateral shaped brims made of high-density polyethylene have been used with satisfactory results on more than 120 patients who needed ischial-bearing long leg calipers. At first the fitting technique was the same as that used for thigh amputees. Subsequently it has been possible to fit most patients from a range of pre-formed brims. The properties of high-density polyethylene allow the caliper side irons to be riveted directly to the brim which, with the use of ready-made brims, allows a patient to be fitted rapidly with a comfortable and effective caliper.  (+info)

Prosthetic ambulation in a paraplegic patient with a transfemoral amputation and radial nerve palsy. (4/333)

Great importance and caution should be placed on prosthetic fitting for a paraplegic patient with an anesthetic residual limb if functional ambulation is to be achieved. The combination of paraplegia with a transfemoral amputation and radial nerve palsy is a complex injury that makes the rehabilitation process difficult. This article describes a case of L2 paraplegia with a transfemoral amputation and radial nerve palsy on the right side. Following the rehabilitation course, the patient independently walked using a walker at indoor level with a transfemoral prosthesis with ischial containment socket, polycentric knee assembly, endoskeletal shank and multiaxis foot assembly and a knee ankle foot orthosis on the sound side. The difficulties of fitting a functional prosthesis to an insensate limb and the rehabilitation stages leading to functional ambulation are reviewed.  (+info)

Left tactile extinction following visual stimulation of a rubber hand. (5/333)

In close analogy with neurophysiological findings in monkeys, neuropsychological studies have shown that the human brain constructs visual maps of space surrounding different body parts. In right-brain-damaged patients with tactile extinction, the existence of a visual peripersonal space centred on the hand has been demonstrated by showing that cross-modal visual-tactile extinction is segregated mainly in the space near the hand. That is, tactile stimuli on the contralesional hand are extinguished more consistently by visual stimuli presented near the ipsilesional hand than those presented far from it. Here, we report the first evidence in humans that this hand-centred visual peripersonal space can be coded in relation to a seen rubber replica of the hand, as if it were a real hand. In patients with left tactile extinction, a visual stimulus presented near a seen right rubber hand induced strong cross-modal visual-tactile extinction, similar to that obtained by presenting the same visual stimulus near the patient's right hand. Critically, this specific cross-modal effect was evident when subjects saw the rubber hand as having a plausible posture relative to their own body (i.e. when it was aligned with the subject's right shoulder). In contrast, cross-modal extinction was strongly reduced when the seen rubber hand was arranged in an implausible posture (i. e. misaligned with respect to the subject's right shoulder). We suggest that this phenomenon is due to the dominance of vision over proprioception: the system coding peripersonal space can be 'deceived' by the vision of a fake hand, provided that its appearance looks plausible with respect to the subject's body.  (+info)

Intermediate rehabilitation outcome in below-knee amputations: descriptive study comparing war-related with other causes of amputation. (6/333)

AIM: To asses the intermediate rehabilitation outcome of patients with war-related below-knee amputations and compare it with the patients with other causes of amputation. METHOD: The study comprised 74 patients with below-knee stumps admitted for rehabilitation at the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Split University Hospital, Croatia, in 1994. They were fitted with a preliminary prosthesis, a donation from the Finish Red Cross. The rehabilitation was performed by a professional team and included regular bandaging of the stump, exercises to prevent knee and hip joint contracture, general fitness exercises, standing-up, falling and walking exercises, and electrostimulation of the thigh muscles. The time to reach each rehabilitation phase (walking with 2 crutches, walking with 1 crutch, walking with no crutches) was measured. The satisfaction of the patients with the prosthesis was also assessed at the end of rehabilitation. RESULTS: Among 74 patients with below knee amputation, war trauma was the cause for amputation in 31 patients, and in 6 of them the amputations were bilateral. Patients with war-related below-knee amputations were younger than the patients with amputations related to vascular disease, including diabetes. The rehabilitation time was significantly shorter in patients with war-related amputations (61.1+/-11.4 days to walking with no crutches) compared with patients with vascular disease-related amputations (80.9+/-8.1 days; p<0.001). The satisfaction with the prosthesis was more variable in patients with war-related amputations than in other patients. CONCLUSION: Early physical rehabilitation and replacement of the lost extremity with a preliminary prosthesis is an optimal intervention in below-knee amputations due to war-injury. Special attention should be paid to the psychological support to these patients during rehabilitation therapy.  (+info)

Problems with excessive residual lower leg length in pediatric amputees. (7/333)

We studied six pediatric amputees with long below-knee residual limbs, in order to delineate their functional and prosthetic situations, specifically in relation to problems with fitting for dynamic-response prosthetic feet. Three patients had congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia secondary to neurofibromatosis, one had fibular hemimelia, one had a traumatic amputation, and one had amputation secondary to burns. Five patients had Syme's amputations, one had a Boyd amputation. Ages at amputation ranged from nine months to five years (average age 3 years 1 month). After amputation, the long residual below-knee limbs allowed fitting with only the lowest-profile prostheses, such as deflection plates. In three patients, the femoral dome to tibial plafond length was greater on the amputated side than on the normal side. To allow room for more dynamic-response (and larger) foot prostheses, two patients have undergone proximal and distal tibial-fibular epiphyseodeses (one at age 5 years 10 months, the other at 3 years 7 months) and one had a proximal tibial-fibular epiphyseodesis at age 7 years 10 months. (All three patients are still skeletally immature.) The families of two other patients are considering epiphyseodeses, and one patient is not a candidate (skeletally mature). Scanogram data indicate that at skeletal maturity the epiphyseodesed patients will have adequate length distal to their residual limbs to fit larger and more dynamic-response prosthetic feet.  (+info)

Lokaverkefni: User Control of Lower Limb Prostheses | SkemmanLokaverkefni: User Control of Lower Limb Prostheses | Skemman
To move and positions one´s limbs as desired is generally taken for granted, but this is not the case for lower limb amputees who can only impose their will upon a prosthetic limb by moving it. This project is concerned with significantly improving the possibilities for amputees to control a prosthetic limb as if it were a natural limb. Specifically the first goal of this project was to investigate available methods for detecting user intent and utilise them as a control signal for a lower limb prosthesis. The second goal was to select one method and demonstrate the feasibility of using it to control a lower limb prosthesis ...

Lower Limb Prosthesis | Effective Health Care ProgramLower Limb Prosthesis | Effective Health Care Program
An estimated 1.9 million people in the U.S. are living with limb loss, a number expected to double by 2050 mostly due to the rising prevalence of diabetes. The management of lower limb amputees with respect to lower limb prostheses (LLPs) is a complicated problem. LLP candidates are a heterogeneous group with distinct needs dependent upon age, etiology of limb loss, level of amputation, comorbidities and health status, postoperative stage, and rehabilitation status. Many LLP options exist, comprising numerous permutations of components, the anatomy they replace, their sophistication, and other attributes, including those pertaining to cosmesis and comfort. In addition, patients may require multiple LLPs (initial, preparatory, definitive, or replacement prosthetics). Compared to the general population, LLP patients exhibit lower overall physical and emotional health (e.g., increased risk for cardiovascular disease, anxiety, and depression) and higher mortality (estimated 5-year mortality rates for

Thermal time constant : optimizing the skin temperature predictive modelling in lower limb prostheses using Gaussian processes ...Thermal time constant : optimizing the skin temperature predictive modelling in lower limb prostheses using Gaussian processes ...
Elevated skin temperature at the body/device interface of lower-limb prostheses is one of the major factors that affect tissue health. The heat dissipation in prosthetic sockets is greatly influenced by the thermal conductive properties of the hard socket and liner material employed. However, monitoring of the interface temperature at skin level in lower-limb prosthesis is notoriously complicated. This is due to the flexible nature of the interface liners used impeding the required consistent positioning of the temperature sensors during donning and doffing. Predicting the in-socket residual limb temperature by monitoring the temperature between socket and liner rather than skin and liner could be an important step in alleviating complaints on increased temperature and perspiration in prosthetic sockets. To predict the residual limb temperature a machine learning algorithm - Gaussian processes is employed, which utilizes the thermal time constant values of commonly used socket and liner ...

Advanced Simulation of an Adaptive Lower Limb Prosthesis - TUprintsAdvanced Simulation of an Adaptive Lower Limb Prosthesis - TUprints
The normal daily human activities include different levels of energy and strength needs, and this applies also for walking such that walking at high speeds needs more stiff muscles compared with walking slowly, and walking during carrying heavy loads or on inclined surfaces needs more energy than during doing the light housekeeping activities. For a healthy individual the human foot has already the ability to change its stiffness and to store and return a part of the elastic energy in a compliant structure of muscle fibres and series elastic elements. In the case of amputations in the lower limbs the amputated limbs are replaced with artificial limbs. A problem appears by this replacement that the new artificial limbs are designed to satisfy some described tasks and any change in these tasks or in the boundary conditions leads to an incompliance and unsatisfactory motion of the amputees. For example, the use of soft foot for walking at high speeds leads to a larger motion of the body centre of ...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to establish the feasibility of manipulating a prosthetic knee directly by using a brain-computer interface (BCI) system in a transfemoral amputee.Methods: A transfemoral amputee subject was trained to activate a knee-unlocking switch through mental imaging of the movement of his lower extremity. Surface scalp electrodes transmitted brain wave data to a software program that was keyed to activate the switch when the event-related desynchronization (ERD) in electroencephalography (EEG) reached a certain threshold. After achieving more than 90 percent reliability for switch activation by EEG rhythm-feedback training managed in 4 visits with each visit about one and half hours, the subject then progressed to activating the knee-unlocking switch on a prosthesis that turned on a motor and unlocked a prosthetic knee. The project took place in the prosthetic department of a Veterans Administration medical center. The pilot study consisted of one participant who has a

Though there are a variety of prosthetic limbs that address the motor deficits associated with amputation, there has been relatively little progress in restoring sensation. Prosthetic limbs provide little direct sensory feedback of the forces they encounter in the environment, but closing the loop between sensation and action can make a great difference in performance [1]. For users of lower limb prostheses, stair descent is a difficult and dangerous task. The difficulty in stair descent can be attributed to three different factors: 1) Absence of tactile and haptic sensations at the bottom of the foot. Although force on the prosthetic socket provides some haptic feedback of the terrain being stepped on, this feedback does not provide information on the location of the staircase edge. 2) Insufficient ankle flexion of lower limb prostheses. Dorsiflexion of the physiological ankle during stair descent is about 27°. Even prostheses that provide active dorsiflexion provide less than this number, ...

Comparison on nonlinear regression algorithms for prediction of skin temperature in lower limb prostheses - StrathprintsComparison on nonlinear regression algorithms for prediction of skin temperature in lower limb prostheses - Strathprints
Monitoring and predicting the residual limb skin health in amputees is of principal importance as the socket of the prosthesis creates an airtight, warm and damp environment that encourages growth of bacteria and skin breakdown. Elevated stump skin temperatures are one of the major factors that affect the tissue health in that region [1]. Monitoring interface temperature at skin level is notoriously complicated. The problem might be considered notorious because embedding wires and sensors in an elastomer eventually results in elastomer failures because of the high strain induced when donning a liner (amputees roll the liners onto their limbs). Another reason is because placing sensors and wires directly against the skin could cause irritation and chaffing over just a short period of time. The heat dissipation in prosthetic sockets is greatly influenced by the thermal conductive properties of the socket and interface liner materials [2]. This leads to a hypothesis that if the thermal properties ...

Prosthetic fitting, use, and satisfaction following lower-limb amputation: A prospective study
Prosthetic fitting, use, function, and satisfaction are important rehabilitation goals following lower-limb amputation. This study prospectively examined these outcomes in a cohort of individuals who underwent lower-limb amputation secondary to peripheral vascular disease and/or diabetes. A wide range of demographic, psychosocial, and comorbid medical data were evaluated at baseline in the perioperative period, which enabled an assessment of possible contributing factors and their effect on these outcomes. This cohort of subjects was then followed for a year following amputation by utilizing a wide spectrum of objective and validated self-report outcome measures. These study design characteristics make this investigation unique compared to prior studies examining similar outcomes following dysvascular lower-limb amputation [1-11].. The study population included in this investigation is important for a number of reasons. First, only individuals with amputations secondary to peripheral vascular ...

Dysvascular partial foot amputation (PFA) is a common sequel to advanced peripheral vascular disease. Helping inform difficult discussions between patients and practitioners about the level of PFA, or the decision to have a transtibial amputation (TTA) as an alternative, requires an understanding of the current research evidence on a wide range of topics including wound healing, reamputation, quality of life, mobility, functional ability, participation, pain and psychosocial outcomes, and mortality. The aim of this review was to describe a comprehensive range of outcomes of dysvascular PFA and compare these between levels of PFA and TTA. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42015029186). A systematic search of the literature was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, psychINFO, AMED, CINAHL, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health, and Web of Science. These databases were searched using MeSH terms and keywords relating to different amputation levels and outcomes of interest. Peer reviewed studies of

Nowadays, numerous internal bone remodelling concepts are under development, in order to estimate long-term functionality of implants by evaluating the intensity of stress-shielding effect. This effect is also analysed for the implants for direct skeletal attachment, considered as a better exoprosthesis fixation method than prosthetic sockets. Most of bone remodelling approaches are based on basic concepts, differing with certain assumptions, which may affect the accuracy of the results. This article compares commonly used internal bone remodelling concepts and evaluates the functionality of the proposed Limb Prosthesis Osseointegrated Fixation System for direct skeletal attachment of limb prosthesis in comparison with two currently available implants: the Intraosseous Transcutaneous Amputation Prosthesis and the Osseointegrated Prostheses for the Rehabilitation of Amputees ...

Robotic Prosthesis Alignment System: RoboPAL | SBIR.govRobotic Prosthesis Alignment System: RoboPAL | SBIR.gov
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Positioning of the socket relative to the foot of a lower limb prosthesis is critical to comfort, function, and health of the residual limb and intact musculoskeletal system. Achieving proper alignment is currently a time- consuming and imprecise art that requires considerable skill and effort on the part of the prosthetist, and permits no direct control by the patient. The proposed project will significantly advance the alignment process. The objective of the proposed work is to create a Robotic Prosthetic Alignment system (RoboPAL) that enables the alignment of lower limb prostheses to be rapidly adjusted by robotic control. The system will allow both the prosthetist and the patient to specify alignment changes via a hand-held control unit communicating wirelessly with an actuator unit integrated with standard modular components. The technology will permit the prosthetist to concentrate on the big picture (i.e. eliminate time on the floor with wrenches in ...

According to the Amputee Coalition of America, more than 735,000 Americans have had an upper limb amputation, and up to half of these individuals use a prosthetic hand. A myoelectric prosthesis is a type of prosthetic hand controlled by muscles in the upper arm. The prosthesis is connected to electronic sensors used to detect minute muscle movements and electrical activity from the muscles and nerves. Those movements and electrical activity provide information to the motors that would then use that information to move the wrist, hand, and fingers of the prosthesis. People who use myoelectric prostheses can often achieve good control of their grip, but they may have trouble gauging how tightly they are grasping objects. Vibratory haptic feedback can help prosthetic hand users adjust their grip strength by providing vibrations on their forearm that change as grip strength changes, such as vibrating faster as they strengthen their grip. This feedback may make it easier to perform activities like ...

A Robotic Ankle-Foot Prosthesis With Active Alignment | Journal of Medical Devices | ASME DCA Robotic Ankle-Foot Prosthesis With Active Alignment | Journal of Medical Devices | ASME DC
An ankle-foot prosthesis designed to mimic the missing physiological limb generates a large sagittal moment during push off which must be transferred to the residual limb through the socket connection. The large moment is correlated with high internal socket pressures that are often a source of discomfort for the person with amputation, limiting prosthesis use. In this paper, the concept of active alignment is developed. Active alignment realigns the affected residual limb toward the center of pressure (CoP) during stance. During gait, the prosthesis configuration changes to shorten the moment arm between the ground reaction force (GRF) and the residual limb. This reduces the peak moment transferred through the socket interface during late stance. A tethered robotic ankle prosthesis has been developed, and evaluation results are presented for active alignment during normal walking in a laboratory setting. Preliminary testing was performed with a subject without amputation walking with ...

Modeling of human locomotion with artificial lower extremitiesModeling of human locomotion with artificial lower extremities
To solve the problems of improvement of the existent and creation of new efficient lower limb prostheses, and to stu-dy effect of prosthesis design, as a special technical devi-ce, on kinematical dynamical energetical and other characte-ristics of amputee locomotion it is expedient to use wide ca-pabilities of mathematical modelling of a human walk process on a prosthetic limb. There was proposed earlier mathemati-cal models of biped walk having different degrees of adequa-cy in multitude of works. These models were used for diffe-rent purposes: investigation of kinematical dynamical and energetical characteristics of human gait, working out and creation of antropomorphic walking machines, etc. In the given paper a mathematical model has been proposed for investigation of dynamics of an amputees locomotor sys-tem with a below-knee prosthesis. Based on this model computer program has been composed. The series of problems of dynamics of a two-leggal walking, calculation of consumption of energy on motion
