  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. A Methodology to Quantify Alignment of Transtibial and Transfemoral Prostheses using Optical Motion Capture System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Þórey Ásgeirsdóttir; [2022]
    Keywords : Alignment; Lower limb amputees; Prosthesis; Motion Capture;

    Abstract : Background: Lower limb amputees face many challenges, and most of them prefer to use prosthetics for daily tasks and activities. The prosthesis is usually a combination of connected prosthetic components, and their spatial orientation is called the prosthetic alignment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effective Optimization of Deployment for Wearable Sensors in Transfemoral Prosthesis

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

    Author : SURANJAN RAM OTTIKKUTTI; [2020]
    Keywords : Sensors; globaloptimization; geneticalgorithms; patternsearch; transducers; transfemoralamputation; Sensorer; global optimering; genetiska algoritmer; mönstersökning; transduktorer; transfemoral amputation;

    Abstract : Transfemoralor above-the-knee amputees face discomfort in their prothesis primarily due to irregular distribution of pressure and shear forces in the Socket-stump interface (SSI). To quantify this discomfort it is necessary to first determine the pressure distribution in the SSI using sensors. READ MORE

  5. 4. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation for patients with aorticstenosis and concomitant ischemic heart disease: : A five-yearfollow-up

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Abawi Akram; [2019]
    Keywords : Aortic stenosis; ischemic heart disease; mortality; transcatheter aortic valve implantation; transfemoral approach.;

    Abstract : Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an established procedure to treat severe aortic stenosis (AS). This study investigates the impact of ischemic heart disease (IHD) on survival in patients undergoing TAVI. Aim: Five-year all-cause mortality stratified according to the presence or absence of IHD.

  6. 5. Finite Element Analysis of Osseointegrated Transfemoral Implant : Identification of how the Length of Implant Affects the Stress Distribution in Cortical Bone and Implant

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Anna Pogosian; [2018]
    Keywords : Osseointegrated; Implant; Transfemoral; Finite Element Methods;

    Abstract : An alternative method of conventional prosthesis is  osseointegrated transfemoral implant, in where the prosthesis is fixated directly to the bone. The benefits with this system is increased range of motion, sensory feedback and reduced soft tissue problem. READ MORE
