Sand-casting technique for trans-tibial prostheses.
A sand-casting technique for trans-tibial sockets was applied to 28 amputees, and the prosthetic fit observed through transparent check sockets. The results were better than historical reports of fittings with plaster of Paris casting by qualified prosthetists. The fit was consistently and evenly larger than the stump, but total contact could be achieved by applying three (two to five) stump so...
متن کاملRelaxed versus activated stump muscles during casting for trans-tibial prostheses.
In prosthetic practice, the question often arises as to whether the hand cast should be made from a contracted or from a non-contracted amputation stump. To elucidate this question, the authors have performed a study to quantify the volume difference between these 2 conditions, and to relate the differences to prosthetic fitting. Sixteen (16) trans-tibial amputees participated in the study. All...
متن کاملEvaluation of use and durability of polypropylene trans-tibial prostheses.
Forty-three (43) trans-tibial prostheses with a mean period of use of 33 months were evaluated in terms of utilisation and durability. The majority of the prostheses (80%) were worn by amputees with demanding occupations, such as farmers, fishermen and tradesmen. The prostheses were in use approximately 9 hours per day. No major or frequent breakdowns of the polypropylene prosthetic components ...
متن کاملQuality of polypropylene sockets for trans-tibial prostheses in low-income countries.
Based on six series of patients (n = 198) participating in clinical field testing of prosthetic feet and all provided with trans-tibial prostheses in accordance with the polypropylene component and assembly system developed by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) follow-up studies by teams consisting of an orthopaedic surgeon and a Category-I prosthetist-orthotist were conducted....
متن کاملA Plastic Socket and Stump Casting Technique for Above-knee Prostheses.
Above-knee artificial limbs with wooden or metal sockets have been produced successfully for many years and these materials will doubtless continue to be used in the future. Circumstances arise, however, when it is necessary to find an alternative material that has similar properties to wood or metal, but which may be used by technicians who do not possess the long experience of the wood or met...
