Significance of non-level walking on transtibial prosthesis fitting with particular reference to the effects of anterior-posterior alignment.
Despite the fact that non-level walking is known to be important for prosthesis fitting, its clinical significance has not been investigated. In this study, the acceptable prosthesis alignment ranges of six subjects with transtibial amputation on level and non-level walking were determined and compared. With the aid of a recently developed alignment jig, prosthesis fitting was performed for eac...
متن کاملThe use of a robotic gait simulator for the development of an alignment tool for lower limb prostheses
Background This tool meets the demand of prosthetists to optimise and objectify the dynamic alignment of transtibial prostheses. Nowadays, the prosthetists mainly rely on their own expertise and experience. Current methods to align the prosthesis start with a static alignment of transtibial prosthesis. This method does not take the individual patient comfort into account. Afterwards, adjustment...
متن کاملTranstibial prosthesis suspension systems: systematic review of literature.
BACKGROUND Today a number of prosthetic suspension systems are available for transtibial amputees. Consideration of an appropriate suspension system can ensure that amputee's functional needs are satisfied. The higher the insight to suspension systems, the easier would be the selection for prosthetists. This review attempted to find scientific evidence pertaining to various transtibial suspensi...
متن کاملA new biomechanical method for determination of static prosthetic alignment.
A new static alignment method for trans-tibial prostheses is suggested using the individual load line as a reference. Standing posture and static alignment of 18 experienced trans-tibial prosthetic users with good walking ability were determined and compared with 20 healthy persons. The individual load line was defined by means of the new Otto Bock alignment system "L.A.S.A.R. Posture". The sag...
متن کاملA new approach for the pistoning measurement in transtibial prosthesis.
BACKGROUND Good suspension lessens the pistoning (vertical displacement) of the residual limb inside the prosthetic socket. Several methods are used for measuring the pistoning. STUDY DESIGN Clinical trial. OBJECTIVES To introduce and evaluate a new simple method for measuring the pistoning between the soft liner and socket in transtibial prostheses. METHODS Five transtibial prostheses wi...
