    Keywords : Prosthetics; alignment; malalignment; misalignment; artificial limb; design; product development.; Protes; uppställning; inställning; felställning; konstgjord kroppsdel; design; produktutveckling;

    Abstract : Prosthetic alignment is the principle of the position and orientation and of the components in a lower limb prosthesis to achieve desirable biomechanical characteristics. Poor alignment of lower limb prostheses is related to decreased balance, knee and hip arthritis, and higher energy expenditure for the user. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of the role of ImplantMovement Analysis in diagnosing asepticloosening of total hip arthroplasty

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Ellen Harbom; [2019]
    Keywords : Hip prosthesis; Implant Movement Analysis; Aseptic loosening Computed Tomography; Radiography.;

    Abstract : Introduction: Aseptic loosening is the most common indication for revision surgery of hipimplants. However, sometimes diagnosis from planar radiography is uncertain, makingdecision regarding revision surgery problematic. Implant Movement Analysis (IMA) is anewly introduced method of analysing uncertain aseptic loosening of hip prostheses. READ MORE
