Abstract:

Background Recent conflicts have seen an increase in trauma related military amputees who incur complex injuries which result in varied residual limbs. In many cases these amputees have been provided with state of the art (SOTA) components with the expectation that they will transfer into NHS care after military discharge. However, there is a lack of knowledge around how prosthetic prescriptions are made in both the MOD and NHS, including patient involvement. It is important to explore prosthetic prescription decisions to enhance the quality, consistency and equity of care delivery for trauma

Abstract:

Prosthetic development recently has focused mainly on myoelectrically controlled electric hands despite a majority of upper extremity amputees actively choosing body powered devices. Myoelectric hands utilize a small electric pulse generated in muscles when flexing as a signal to the hand to close. Finger flexion in these devices is controlled by electromechanical servos, requiring no strength input from the user. Body powered devices use a cable attached to a shoulder harness which causes mechanical closure of the device via tension placed on a control cable by a shoulder shrug motion or arm

Abstract:

A successful restoration of vision should allow the blind to look, to see and to understand. The engineering of a microelectronic vision prosthesis has come a long way over the last forty years, but the understanding of how the restored form of vision would be interpreted and functionally applied to everyday living has made little progress until recent times. Prosthetic vision is not what most people think it would be; it is a visual scene composed of relatively large, isolated, spots of light so-called "phosphenes", very much like a magnified pictorial print.

Abstract:

The term ‘prosthetic’ is used increasingly across the social sciences and has taken on a theoretical life as a result of debates springing from contemporary studies of science and technology, medical anthropology and citizenship. This research considers whether the usage of ‘prosthetic’ and ‘prosthesis’ has however, become all too distanced from a grounded understanding of these terms, and is now in many ways synonymous with the term ‘cyborg’, therefore obscuring the specific relationships that prostheses represent. It asks if these terms have become a ‘catchall’ of technological subjectivitie

The physical change in the prosthetic leg leads to gait asymmetries that include spatial, temporal, or force differences. This altered gait can lead to an increase in energy consumption and pain due to compensating forces and torques. The asymmetric prosthesis demonstrated in this research aims to find a balance between the different types of asymmetries to provide a gait that is more symmetric and to make it overall easier for an am

Loss of speech is one important factor which contributes to a decrease of life quality for patients who undergo larynx removal following for example advanced laryngeal cancer.

However, such voice restoration prosthesis are still limited for certain patients. The development of a new device using a valve of variable resistance entrained by a linear electromechanical transducer was investigated as a way to produce speech for patients wit

Background There are more than 300,000 persons in the U.S. living with transfemoral amputation (TFA). Persons with TFA use a knee prosthesis for gait and mobility. Presently, the C-Leg microprocessor knee prosthesis is the standard of care. C-Leg has significantly improved safety and cost efficacy and has created modest gains in gait efficiency. Recently, a new prosthesis has introduced a new sensor array and processor that reportedly improves knee motion, stair function and standing stability.

Human gait is a complex process that involves the coordination of the central nervous and muscular systems. A disruption to the either system results in the impairment of a person’s ability to walk. Impairments can be caused by neurological disorders such as stroke and physical conditions like amputation. There is not a standardized method to quantitatively assess the gait asymmetry of affected subjects. The purpose of this research is to understand the fundamental aspects of asymmetrical effects on the human body and improve rehabilitation techniques and devices. This rese

Abstract:

Testing gait rehabilitation devices on humans can be a difficult task, due to the effects of the neurological controls of the human body. This thesis advances the use of a passive dynamic walker (PDW) tuned to have asymmetric gait patterns similar to those with physical impairments to test rehabilitation devices. A passive dynamic walker is a multipendulum system that has a stable gait pattern when walking down a slope without any energy inputs except the forces due to gravity. A PDW model is better suited for testing rehabilitation devices because it has been shown to resemble human gait and

Abstract:

A finalidade desse trabalho é desenvolver um protótipo de uma prótese antropomórfica multifuncional para membros superiores para pacientes amputados. Seu objetivo é substituir a mão natural perdida, de forma a auxiliar a realização de algumas tarefas diárias do usuário. A prótese possuirá características antropomórficas, tais como aparência e movimentação semelhantes às da mão humana, e características naturais inerentes à mesma, por exemplo, o arco reflexo. Além disso, contará também com meios de realimentação táteis das informações de forças aplicadas pela prótese em objetos, bem como sua te

Abstract:

This thesis proposes an algorithm that determine the geometry of 3D-printed, custom-designed spring element bands made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) for use in a wearable orthotic device to aid in the physical therapy of a human hand exhibiting spasticity after stroke. Each finger of the hand is modeled as a mechanical system consisting of a triple-rod pendulum with nonlinear stiffness at each joint and forces applied at the attachment point of each flexor muscle. The system is assumed quasi-static, which leads to a torque balance between the flexor tendons in the hand, joint stiffness and

Abstract:

Amputation of the lower limb may result in musculo-skeletal changes similar to those that occur following space flight, immobilisation and prolonged bed rest. The similarities desist when one considers the invasive nature of amputation surgery and the impact that partial loss of a limb has on the loading characteristics of the affected leg. The aim of this study was to determine the musculo-skeletal changes that occur following trans-femoral and trans-tibial amputation, and to compare differences in the musculo-skeletal characteristics of these groups, which may occur as a function of the modi

However, the advent and general acceptance of dental implants has altered our concepts and treatment planning in these advanced cases , but has also increased the complexity of the final treatment plan.This thesis addresses those issues and the role of dental implants in perio-prosthesis.

Abstract:

Although dynamic prosthetic alignment is an important process for the rehabilitation of transtibial amputees, such alignment technique is subjective and inconsistent. Using biomechanical variables and questionnaire assessments, this study compared an instrument-assisted dynamic alignment technique using the Compas™ system and conventional alignment techniques on nine adults with unilateral transtibial amputation. A focus group discussion was conducted with six prosthetists to understand clinical practice of dynamic alignment and their perception of the Compas™ system. Results found that Compas

Abstract:

The loss of a hand or arm is a devastating life event that results in many months of healing and challenging rehabilitation. Technology has allowed the development of an electronic replacement for a lost limb but similar advancements in therapy have not occurred. The situation is made more challenging because people with amputations often do not live near specialized rehabilitation centres. As a result, delays in therapy can worsen common complications like nerve pain and joint stiffness. For children born without a limb, poor compliance with the use of their prosthesis leads to delays in ther

Living with limb loss may cause a number of challenges in physical, psychological and social dimensions, as well as quality of life. Although it has been demonstrated that support groups can decrease individual’s stress and promote their adjustment, no study has examined the effectiveness of a support group program for people with LEA in Taiwan. The major purposes of this study were to (1) develop the amputee support group (ASG) program for patients with LEA specifically, and (
