Abstract:
A study has been made of data on 19,421 prosthetic limbs prescribed for 12,143 Australians under the Free Limb Scheme in the years 1981–1985. These prostheses consisted of 18,119 legs and 1,302 arms. The mean age of the lower limb prosthesis user was 52.8 and the upper limb prosthesis user 31.3 years. Males outnumbered females by 3 to 1 in the upper limb prosthesis users, and 2.8 to 1 with lower limb prosthesis users. Below-knee prostheses, patellar-tendon-bearing and thigh-lacing prostheses, made up 58.7% of all prostheses prescribed in the time span. Below-elbow prostheses were the commonest

Abstract:
The provision and maintenance of prostheses in 100 trans-femoral amputees and 73 trans-tibial amputees were retrospectively analysed over a 10-year period. The aim of the study was to analyse the prosthetic episodes, i.e., the need for maintenance, repairs and replacements to a trans-femoral and a trans-tibial prosthesis and frequency of new sockets prescribed over the same period of use by established adult amputees. The study showed that the trans-femoral amputees needed 0.96 new prostheses, 3.27 new sockets, 2.31 major repairs, 3.36 component changes and 21.85 minor repairs. Younger trans-f

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.

Persistent rehabilitation efforts and advanced medical devices like prosthetic knee joints are crucial to reintegrating amputees into daily life successfully. Modern knee joints represent a highly integrated mechatronic system including special kinematics, a lightweight design, various sensors, microprocessors and complex algorithms to control a damping system in the context of the given situation. A knee joint is a passive system and normally has no actuator for an active movement. To enable a natural gait pattern,

Abstract:
Misalignment in the lower limb prosthesis can cause great discomfort in the stump- socket interface and disturbance to gait function. In the long run, it could deteriorate the musculoskeletal system. In practice, the assessment still depends heavily on the verbal feedback of an amputee and experiences of a prosthetist. Moreover it is inconsistent amongst the prosthetists. Prosthetic alignment involves the adjustment of the prosthetic components relative to the gait quality. Some methods were proposed, including symmetry index, variation in a step-to-step transition, stability within the zone o

Abstract:
Alignment of the above-knee prostheses is one of the important factors affecting the success of patient/prosthesis matching. It has been found that the prosthetist and the patient can accept a number of alignments which produce different intersegmental loads and it has been suggested that it is possible to obtain an 'optimal' alignment satisfying certain criteria. In order to enhance the efficiency of the alignment procedure, it is necessary to understand how alignment affects the amputee's gait and the patient compensations for changes in the alignment.

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 o

Control of prosthetic limbs using myoelectric muscle potentials from the wearer’s residual limb enables direct control of artificial limb behavior.

While myoelectric upper-limb control is commonplace in prosthetic practice, its use in lower-extremity devices has been slow to follow suit.
