Prosthetic limbs deliver major quality of life and socioeconomic benefits for people with amputation, particularly in low-resource settings. The value administrative data analysis is established enabling sustainable health care improvement, but there has been limited research into the maintenance, repair, replacement prosthetic limbs. Survivorship are sparse highly variable, rarely addresses differences between demographic groups. We investigated distribution time device delivery,...

ABSTRACT Introduction The gap between the needs of individuals with amputation and access to prosthetists in low-income countries (LICs) is significant. Training new personnel bridge this would exceed current output all prosthetic orthotic programs globally. Strategies are needed increase productivity existing order serve more patients. Emerging technologies such as 3D scanning, modeling, printing have been investigated for their ability decrease manufacturing time devices; however, few...

Gait quality can influence walking ability and mobility outcomes making it an important part of prosthetic rehabilitation. Prosthetic knee joint designs gait quality, limited data exists to guide component selection in under-resourced settings. This study compared spatiotemporal kinematic parameters for two common types friction-based swing-phase controlled joints. Two-dimensional optical analysis was conducted as a cross-over design involving 17 individuals with unilateral transfemoral...

Background: Mobility is a major goal of prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation, use outcome measures to evaluate mobility necessary for good clinical practice. To support the worldwide, work needed translate relevant instruments adapt them in multiple cultures. Objectives: The objective this research was standardized method Locomotor Capabilities Index-5 (LCI-5) into Khmer, national language Cambodia, its cultural integrity by assessing it with group prosthesis orthosis users. Study design:...

Abstract Prosthetic limbs deliver major quality of life and socioeconomic benefits for people with amputation, particularly in low-resource settings. The value administrative data analysis to enable sustainable health care improvement is established, but there has been limited research into the failure, repair, replacement prosthetic limbs. Survivorship sparse highly variable, rarely addresses differences between demographic groups. Therefore, we investigated distribution time device...

Rehabilitation after childhood lower limb loss is complex and dependent on multiple stakeholders environmental factors. While research with adults underscores the importance of involving prosthetic users caregivers in discussions to drive innovation, children are often excluded or not effectively engaged. This protocol lays out development implementation for an internationally applicable toolkit which has been designed evaluated around essential presence child. Research domains span their...
