Evaluation of new suspension system for limb prosthetics

Evaluation of new suspension system for limb prosthetics

BACKGROUND Good prosthetic suspension system secures the residual limb inside the prosthetic socket and enables easy donning and doffing. This study aimed to introduce, evaluate and compare a newly designed prosthetic suspension system (HOLO) with the current suspension systems (suction, pin/lock and magnetic systems). METHODS All the suspension systems were tested (tensile testing machine) i...

Limb prosthetics-1970.

Progressive upper limb prosthetics.

The field of upper extremity prosthetics is a constantly changing arena as researchers and prosthetists strive to bridge the gap between prosthetic reality and upper limb physiology. With the further development of implantable neurologic sensing devices and targeted muscle innervation (discussed elsewhere in this issue), the challenge of limited input to control vast outputs promises to become ...

Locomotion and lower-limb prosthetics.

One of the principal activities of the members of the Biomechanics Laboratory during the past two decades has been the study of human locomotion . A major objective of these studies has been the accumulation of data that might be used in the design and construction of improved prosthetic and orthotic devices . The investigations have included electromyograms of the phasic action of muscles, for...
