Transtibial prosthesis suspension systems: systematic review of literature.
BACKGROUND Today a number of prosthetic suspension systems are available for transtibial amputees. Consideration of an appropriate suspension system can ensure that amputee's functional needs are satisfied. The higher the insight to suspension systems, the easier would be the selection for prosthetists. This review attempted to find scientific evidence pertaining to various transtibial suspensi...
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 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 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 کاملKinematic differences exist between transtibial amputee fallers and non-fallers during downwards step transitioning.
BACKGROUND Stair negotiation is biomechanically more challenging than level gait. There are few biomechanical assessments of transtibial amputees descending stairs and none specifically related to falls. Stair descent may elicit more differences than level gait in amputees with and without a previous falls history. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the gait kinematics of fallers...
