Transtibial prosthetic suspension: less pistoning versus easy donning and doffing.
Poor suspension increases slippage of the residual limb inside the socket during ambulation. The main purpose of this article is to evaluate the pistoning at the prosthetic liner-socket interface during gait and assess patients' satisfaction with two different liners. Two prostheses with seal-in and locking liners were fabricated for each of the 10 subjects with transtibial amputation. The Vico...
متن کاملRe: "Quantitative and Qualitative Comparison of a New Prosthetic Suspension System with Two Existing Suspension Systems for Lower Limb Amputees".
OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to compare the effects of a newly designed magnetic suspension system with that of two existing suspension methods on pistoning inside the prosthetic socket and to compare satisfaction and perceived problems among transtibial amputees. DESIGN In this prospective study, three lower limb prostheses with three different suspension systems were fabricat...
متن کاملA clinical comparison between two common transtibial Prosthetic suspension systems
Introduction: Proper fitting of the stump inside the socket and appropriate selection of prosthetic suspension have positive effects on amputees’ satisfaction and could decrease gait deviation, skin problems, and stump atrophy. The suction sockets are commonly prescribed for transtibial amputees to have better suspension compared to the Pin and lock systems. The Seal-In® X5 (suction system) is ...
متن کاملTranstibial prosthetic socket pistoning: static evaluation of Seal-In(®) X5 and Dermo(®) Liner using motion analysis system.
BACKGROUND The method of attachment of prosthesis to the residual limb (suspension) and socket fitting is a critical issue in the process of providing an amputee with prosthesis. Different suspension methods try to minimize the pistoning movement inside the socket. The Seal-In(®) X5 and Dermo(®) Liner by Ossur are new suspension liners that intend to reduce pistoning between the socket and line...
متن کاملEvaluation 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...
