Modernising the way upper-limb prosthetic sockets are made has seen limited progress. The casting techniques that employed in clinics today resemble those developed over 50 years ago and there is still a heavy reliance on manual labour. Modern manufacturing methods such as 3D scanning printing often presented ready-to-use solutions for producing low-cost functional devices, with public perceptions being largely shaped by superficial media representation advertising. promise modern socket can...
SummaryThe following pollen species were analysed for moisture, fat, carbohydrate, minerals and amino acids; white clover (Trifolium repens L,), willow (Salix sp. hawkweed (Hieracium pilosela L.), broom (Cytisus bush lawyer/blackberry (Rubus matagouri (Discaria toumatou Raoul), pine (Pinus thistle (Cirsium Miller) kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa A. Chev.). The moisture content of the ranged from 16·8% (matagouri) to 25·9% (willow). fat 0·17% (staminate pollen) 13·40% (hawkweed). Total...
The evolution of three-dimensional printing into prosthetics has opened conversations about the availability and cost prostheses. This report will discuss how a prosthetic team incorporated additive manufacture techniques treatment patient with partial hand amputation to create test unique assistive device which he could use hold his French horn. Case description methods: Using process shape capture, photogrammetry, computer-aided design finite element analysis, suitable was designed tested....
People who either use an upper limb prosthesis and/or have used services provided by a prosthetic rehabilitation centre, hereafter called users, are yet to benefit from the fast-paced growth in academic knowledge within field of prosthetics. Crucially over past decade, research has acknowledged limitations conducting laboratory-based studies for clinical translation. This led increase, albeit rather small, trials that gather real-world user data. Multi-stakeholder collaboration is critical...
The majority of limb prostheses are socket mounted. For these devices, the is essential for adequate prosthetic suspension, comfort, and control. unique among components as it not usually mass-produced must instead be custom-made individual residual limbs by a prosthetist. knowledge what constitutes “good” fit gained expert prosthetists technicians over years experience, rarely documented. reliance on tacit makes difficult to standardize criteria well-fitting socket, leading difficulties...
People who either use an upper limb prosthesis and/or have used services provided by a prosthetic rehabilitation centre, experience limitations of currently available devices. Collaboration between academia and broad range stakeholders, can lead to the development solutions that address peoples' needs. By doing so, rate device abandonment decrease. Co-creation is approach enable collaboration this nature occur throughout research process. We present findings co-creation project gained user...
There are currently no published prosthetic-related outcome measurement tools (OMT) available in the Arabic language.The aim of this study was to translate Prosthetic Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) into Arabic, ensuring cross-cultural equivalence with original English language version.Psychometric property testing.The PEQ culturally and linguistically adapted from using a process forward translation, backward committee review pre-testing. Pre-testing carried out clinical trial where subjects...
Little is known about how human perception affected using an upper-limb prosthesis. To shed light on this topic, we investigated prosthesis affects individuals' experience of object weight. First, examined a group amputee prosthetic users experienced real mass differences and illusory weight in the context 'size–weight' illusion. Surprisingly, reported markedly smaller illusion than controls, despite equivalent perceptions difference. Next, replicated dissociation between nonamputees who...
In many populations like wheelchair and prosthetic users, the soft tissue is subject to excessive or repetitive loading, making it prone Deep Tissue Injury (DTI). To study skeletal muscle response physical stress, numerous in vitro vivo models exist. Yet, accuracy, variability, ethical considerations pose significant trade-offs. Here, we present an ex approach address these limitations offer additional quantitative information on cellular damage. this study, from Sprague Dawley rats was...
The "uncanny phenomenon" describes the feeling of unease associated with seeing an image that is close to appearing human. Prosthetic hands in particular are well known induce this effect. Little known, however, about phenomenon from viewpoint prosthesis users. We studied perceptions eeriness and human-likeness for images different types mechanical, cosmetic, anatomic upper-limb users (n=9), lower-limb (n=10), prosthetists (n=16), control participants no prosthetic training (n=20), who were...
Background: Individuals living with partial hand absence often face challenges in performing everyday tasks and fully participating society. Prosthetic devices offer a range of benefits, including improved functionality or cosmesis. However, can be rejected by users. In addition, there is lack evidence that establishes methods factors influencing the clinical prescription prosthetics specifically designed for this population. Objectives: The objectives investigation were to gain...
