Abstract: Robotic prostheses can improve walking ability in persons with transfemoral amputations by closely matching kinetics and kinematics of the intact leg during walking. However, achieving this ...

The HSS Osseointegration Limb Replacement Center at Hospital for Special Surgery provides a major advance in amputation reconstruction surgery for amputees who have not tolerated or do not want to use ...

After amputation, Emily had a very short residual femur which made wearing a prosthetic using a socket very difficult. Osseointegration was her best option. Elena is a purple heart veteran injured ...

Anschutz Medical Campus, US, have developed the Colorado Limb Donning-Timed Up and Go (COLD-TUG) test that measures both the ...

A test developed at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus that measures both prosthetic donning time and ...

Subjects with subclinical perfusion were further evaluated by a vascular surgeon prior to the amputation. When indicated, surgical or endoluminal revascularization was performed prior to the ...

COLD-TUG measures the time in seconds required to put on the prosthesis, get up from a standard chair, walk about 10 feet, turn around, walk back to the chair and sit down. The research team ...

Abstract: In the present work, a biomechanical prosthesis with the acquisition of EMG signals will be designed for patients who have lost their right upper extremity due to a transradial forearm ...

But in Dallas, two showed up in the stands weeks apart — armed with prosthetic legs, full hearts and beer. Austin Lewis, an avid Stars fan and double amputee, was born with fibular hemimelia.

prosthetic needs, and motivations for socio-economic participation were analyzed in detail. The goal was to create a model that addresses both medical needs and pathways to social inclusion for ...
