  1. 6. Accuracy and Reliability of 3D Scanning Spatial Data when Capturing Limb Morphology for Use within Prosthetics and Orthotics: A Scoping Review

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Author : Miles Bailey-Brændgaard; Peter Wibe Enevoldsen; [2022]
    Keywords : Scanner; 3D; Accuracy; Reliability; Validity; Prosthetics; Orthotics; Shape capture; Measurement; Human; Shape; Morphology; Assessment;

    Abstract : Background: Scanners are becoming widespread in Prosthetics and Orthotics, replacing plaster casting in the manufacture of some types of devices. P&O shape capture must be accurate and reliable, so the device is comfortable and reproducible between clinicians/sessions. READ MORE

  2. 7. An alignment tool for prosthetic components : A conceptual development

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ, Avd. för rehabilitering

    Author : Robin Johansson; [2022]
    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. 8. The evidence base of elevated vacuum and pin-lock suspension system in transtibial prosthetic users: A literature review with a systematic approach

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Author : Louise Dömstedt; Malin Stafås; [2022]
    Keywords : transtibial prosthetics; transtibial suspension method; elevated vacuum; active vacuum; pin-lock;

    Abstract : Aim: This review aims to describe the existing evidence base for using elevated vacuum suspension and pin-lock suspension systems in regards to fluctuations of limb volume, balance, effect on gait (spatial and temporal, kinematic, and kinetic data), and in-socket movement (pistoning and transverse forces). Background: There is a growing population with a TT amputation thus there is an increased demand for TT prosthetic solutions. READ MORE

  4. 9. Control of 3D-printed Hand Prosthetic via Intra-body Fat Channel Communication

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : Eric Trollsås; [2022]
    Keywords : Fat-IBC; IBAN; Prosthetics; ATE Phantom; Phantom Tissue; 3D-printing; ZigBee;

    Abstract : Intra-Body Communication (IBC) is a prospective technology where human tissue may be used as a signal medium in order to transmit useful data within the human body. Proposed applica- tions of this technology are prosthetics control or implanted device communication, potentially by establishing an Intra-Body Area Network (IBAN), which could further be enhanced by other IoT applications and 5G radio systems.

  5. 10. 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
