Cosmetic covers for lower-limb prostheses.
A soft cosmetic cover for use with modular endoskeletal prostheses is discussed. The reverse molding procedure, which is used to make a mirror image of a unilateral amputee's remaining anatomical limb, is described . This process reduces the time required to fabricate a cosmetic cover since no mechanical or artistic shaping is required to match the prosthetic limb to the anatomical limb. The re...

When Policy Topic is covered Microprocessor knees that have stance-phase or swing-and-stance phase microprocessors may be considered medically necessary only for those patients who meet ALL of the following criteria: Patient is an appropriately active community ambulatory; AND Patient has undergone extensive evaluation using the Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics Patient Assessment Validation E...
متن کاملRecreational activities of lower-limb amputees with prostheses.
Ninety-two (92) persons with lower-limb amputations who regularly used prostheses responded to a survey that included questions about preferred recreational activities. This article describes the variety of activities selected by these men and women aged 20 to 87 years. Of the activities that were of high importance, 74% to 88% could be performed. Those activities assigned moderate to low impor...
متن کاملTowards Intelligent Lower Limb Prostheses with Activity Recognition
User’s volitional control of lower limb prostheses is still challenging task despite technological advancements. There is still a need for amputees to impose their will upon the prosthesis to drive in an accurate and interactive fashion. This study represents a brief review on control strategies using different sensor modalities for the purpose of phases/events detection and activity recognitio...
متن کاملPreparation and Quality Control of 68Ga-Citrate for PET Applications
Objective(s): In nuclear medicine studies, gallium-68 (68Ga) citrate has been recently known as a suitable infection agent in positron emission tomography (PET). In this study, by applying an in-house produced 68Ge/68Ga generator, a simple technique for the synthesis and quality control of 68Ga-citrate was introduced; followed by preliminary animal studies. Methods: 68GaCl3 eluted from the ge...
