  1. 1. The effect of different techniques on suspension in aesthetic finger prosthetics

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Author : Lucas van 't Ende; Marianne Andreasen; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Aesthetic finger prosthetics provide functional and cosmetic benefits. Good suspension of the prosthesis plays a role in the functional and aesthetic effects, and a loose fit can lead to rejection of the prosthetic. READ MORE

  3. 2. Developing and Testing the Usability of a Communication Tool to enhance Evidence into Practice - A qualitative pilot study

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Author : Rikke Rasmussen; Nikolaj E. Hansen; [2022]
    Keywords : Evidence-based practice; clinical reasoning; transfemoral prosthetic sockets; Prosthetist and orthotist; usability; Communication Tool.;

    Abstract : Background: Meeting the prosthetists needs, and barriers is important to successful implement evidence into practice. Thus, several implementation methods have been initiated, the authors saw a need to create a Communication Tool based on evidence from transfemoral socket designs, to ease the process of assisting prosthetists in facilitating evidential reasoning.

  4. 3. Wearable Sensors in Prosthetic Socket

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Ahmed Moustafa; Johan Danmo; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is a great interest among researchers and clinicians to monitor pressure distributions within prosthetic sockets. Such an application may allow the assessment of the user's comfort and identify problematic areas inside the socket. The sensor that is used within such an application is the Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR). READ MORE
