Prosthesis-related Indications for Transfemoral Amputation after Total Knee Arthroplasty
Objective: Few studies have described the complications leading to transfemoral amputation after total knee arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to demonstrate which long term prosthesis-related complications can lead to the loss of a limb after knee joint replacement and to provide clinical guidance regarding the situations that generate an increased likelihood of a patient requiring above ...
متن کاملTransfemoral amputation. Biomechanics and surgery.
The technique of transfemoral amputation has evolved during the last decade whereby muscle stabilization and biomechanical principles have gained new significance. Maintenance of the femoral shaft axis close to normal can be achieved by preservation of the adductor magnus and by myodesis of the muscle to the residual femur. By following established biomechanical principles, and satisfactory sur...
متن کاملBiomechanical and clinical evaluation of a newly designed polycentric knee of transfemoral prosthesis.
We have designed a new polycentric knee adopting a hydraulic unit and an intelligent mechanism. The biomechanical parameters of this prototype, such as the stance duration, peak knee flexion angle in stance and swing, peak hip flexion angle, and peak hip extension moments were analyzed at three different cadences (88, 96, 104 steps/min) in three amputees, and then compared to those of polycentr...
متن کاملA biomechanical model for encoding joint dynamics: applications to transfemoral prosthesis control.
This paper presents and tests a framework for encoding joint dynamics into energy states using kinematic and kinetic knee joint sensor data and demonstrates how to use this information to predict the future energy state (torque and velocity requirements) of the joint without a priori knowledge of the activity sequence. The intended application is for enhancing micro-controlled prosthetics by ma...
متن کاملLoad applied on bone-anchored transfemoral prosthesis: characterization of a prosthesis-a pilot study.
The objectives of this study were to (1) record the inner-prosthesis loading during activities of daily living (ADLs), (2) present a set of variables comparing loading data, and (3) provide an example of characterization of two prostheses. The load was measured at 200 Hz using a multi-axial transducer mounted between the residuum and the knee of an individual with unilateral transfemoral amputa...
