Patients with a lower limb amputation who apply for a bone-anchored prosthesis (BAP) already have signs of osteoarthritis (OA) of the ipsilateral joint proximal to the amputation level. Since axial loading is restored with the BAP, we have seen that the incidence of OA slightly increases over time.

Results from a pilot study using a new patient-adjustable socket system are presented. During in-patient rehab after TF amputation, patients wore a new adjustable socket for a week. Patients reported improved comfort and greater satisfaction with the new socket compared to the standard socket.

I.N.E.S.S : How to manufacture a device combining rigidity, light weight, flexibility and technicity.

Specially designed printed low-cost and lightweight shear and pressure sensors were successfully integrated in a transfemoral amputee’s prosthetic socket. Shear and pressure were measured simultaneously during dynamic and static activities. Repeated stress patterns were evident during walking.

Vorgestellt wird ein eigens entwickelter Bewegungstrainer für das Kognitive Bewegungstraining nach einer Unterschenkelamputation mit einhergehender TMB (Targeted muscle Benefit) Operation. Plantarflexion und Dorsalextension werden über die Stumpfmuskulatur am Bewegungstrainer ausgeführt

In der Erfassung von Versorgungsdaten bei Oberschenkelamputierten konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine vollständige prothetische Versorgung einen größeren Effekt als ein Schaftwechsel auf verschiedene Outcome Measures hat.

This study was aimed to investigate prosthesis use experiences and satisfaction of lower extremity unilateral amputees and it was planned to compare the demographic information of the participants with the property of their amputation and prosthesis.

This study showed that the margin of safety of the load applied during daily activities on osseointegrated implant by transfemoral bone-anchored prostheses fitted with selected state-of-the-art components is unlikely to challenge the integrity of healthy residual bone and fixation coupling.

Klinische Outcome Measures bieten im Bereich der Beinprothetik mehrere Einsatzmöglichkeiten. Die Verwendung der verfügbaren Instrumente zum Zweck der Passteildifferenzierung und der Darstellung des Patientennutzens wird hingegen kontrovers diskutiert.

This paper reports a 24-year-old woman with unremitting complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I) underwent a trans-femoral amputation, then reconstruction with osseointegration surgery.

This is the first 5 year follow up study reporting on the clinical outcomes of diabetic patients receiving an osseointegrated reconstruction.

This article is the first to directly address the outcomes, and management of osseointegration prosthesis following a limb lengthening procedure for individuals unable to use traditional socket prosthesis due to short stump.

Osseointegration is a potential treatment option for transfemoral amputees experiencing socket related problems. Up to this date, there is little data assessing the feasibility and advantages of osseointegration in individuals with transtibial amputations.

Treatment of diabetic neuropathic osteoarthropathy is a challenge due to missing sensitivity of the patient. An open-source diabetic foot monitoring and feedback system detects disease progression by measurement of temperature and pressure. An application gives an insight into the health status.

Zur Evaluation der App-basierten Gesundheitsanwendung bei Patienten mit verschiedenen orthopädischen Beschwerdebildern wurde eine retrospektive Kohortenstudie durchgeführt. Mithilfe einer Onlinebefragung konnten erste Hinweise zur Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit ermittelt werden.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of predicting the internal arch of the foot for individuals with variations in arch height using a center of pressure trajectory.

Zur Behandlung des Pectus Carinatum wird eine 3D gedruckte individuell per CADCAM modellierte Spange verwendet. Das Poster beschreibt die Möglichkeiten durch Scandaten und CADCAM Daten Veränderungen zu dokumentieren und die Therapieziele zu sichern.
