Abstract:
Background: Many persons with upper limb amputation reject prostheses, and many are not satisfied with their devices. Research is needed to understand modifiable factors related to device satisfaction. Myoelectric devices with multiple degrees of freedom are now available; however, no studies have examined whether they lead to greater device satisfaction. Prosthetic training contributes to more skillful prosthesis use and greater likelihood of long-term use; however, the relationship between training and device satisfaction is unclear. Objectives: (1) To describe and compare satisfaction by pr

Abstract:
This study investigated the impact of early prosthetic intervention on children with upper limb agenesis or amputation. The aim was to assess both how early prosthetics improve a child’s movement and coordination skills, as well as how satisfied both the child and their parents are with the prosthesis. Twenty-nine children were evaluated using the Unilateral Below Elbow Test (UBET) and Child Amputee Prosthetics Project—Prothesis Satisfaction Inventory (CAPP-PSI). Results suggest that while children performed tasks faster and more fluidly without a prosthesis, they were satisfied with the prost

Background and aim: Upper extremity myoelectric prostheses are expensive. The Robohand demonstrated that three-dimensional printing reduces the cost of a prosthetic extremity. The goal of this project was to develop a novel, inexpensive three-dimensional printed prosthesis to address limitations of the Robohand. Technique: The prosthesis was designed for patients with transradial limb amputation. It is shoulder-controlled and externally powered with an anthropomorphic terminal device. The user can open and close all five fingers, and move the thumb independently. The estimated cost is US$300.

Myoelectric prostheses are designed to provide cosmesis and a degree of upper limb functionality for people with upper limb absence. However, self-reported rejection rates remain stubbornly high, with control of the prosthesis being commonly cited as one of the primary reasons.

Approximately 50 child sarcomas are treated with limb salvage surgery per year in the United Kingdom.

Surgically, invasive devices have been used for the past thirty years with intrinsic problems of infection and long-term recurrent trauma to the patient.

Isotropic liner material either acts hard and results in discomfort or deforms too much and results in eventual loosening of the prosthetic socket.

Abstract:
Vibrotactile feedback may be able to compensate for the loss of sensory input in lower-limb prosthesis users. Designing an effective vibrotactile feedback system would require that users could perceive and correctly respond to vibrotactile stimuli applied by the tactors. Our study explored three key tactor configuration variables (i.e. vibratory intensity, prosthetic pressure, spacing between adjacent tactors) through two experiments. The vibration propagation experiment investigated the effects of tactor configurations on vibratory amplitude at the prosthesis-limb interface. Results revealed

Abstract:
In human walking, the ankle plays an important role of supplying power needed for the forward motion [1]. However, traditional transtibial (TT, a.k.a. below-knee, BK) prostheses are passive, lacking the ability of generating power output in the prosthetic ankle. Consequently, amputees fitted with such prostheses suffer from multiple issues (asymmetric gait, greater metabolic energy expenditure, etc.). To address such issues, researchers have explored various technical approaches to develop powered TT prostheses. Hydraulics and pneumatics have been attempted, leveraging the high power density w

Abstract:
The purpose of this supplementary report is to ensure that the Registry provides updated 10, 15 and 20 year data on the comparative performance of all prostheses including those that are no longer used. This contrasts with the Annual Report Chapter “Ten, Fifteen, and Twenty Year Prosthesis Outcomes” which exclusively analyses modern prostheses only (i.e. prostheses that are still available and still used in 2023). Surgeons at the Annual Report Workshop highlighted that there was ongoing interest in the comparative performance of all devices reported to the Registry and recommended its inclusio

There are two classes of hip replacement no longer used: partial resurfacing and thrust plate. These are defined in the following section on hip replacement. These two classes of implant have not been used since 2014 and 2012, respectively. There are two bearing surfaces used in total conventional hip replacement that are no longer used: procedures performed with ceramic heads on metal bearings and procedures performed with metal heads on ceramic bearings.

Abstract:
Introduction: There is a paucity of published data on whether a treated infected arthroplasty is a risk factor for infection in another, non-operated joint. Contamination of a primary, arthritic, non-operated joint from an infected arthroplasty is a relatively rare entity. Case: We report a case of migration of a pathogen (Enterococcus faecalis) from an infected prosthetic joint (hip) to the contralateral native joint (knee). Identification of the pathogen was made with PCR, by obtaining cultures during the implantation of the primary knee prosthesis. Conclusion: Contamination of a primary, ar
