  3. 2. The evidence base of elevated vacuum and pin-lock suspension system in transtibial prosthetic users: A literature review with a systematic approach

    Kandidat-uppsats, Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Författare :Louise Dömstedt; Malin Stafås; [2022]
    Nyckelord :transtibial prosthetics; transtibial suspension method; elevated vacuum; active vacuum; pin-lock;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: This review aims to describe the existing evidence base for using elevated vacuum suspension and pin-lock suspension systems in regards to fluctuations of limb volume, balance, effect on gait (spatial and temporal, kinematic, and kinetic data), and in-socket movement (pistoning and transverse forces). Background: There is a growing population with a TT amputation thus there is an increased demand for TT prosthetic solutions. LÄS MER

  4. 3. An investigation of circumstances surrounding prosthetic users’ fall and fear of falling : A Cross-Sectional Survey

    Kandidat-uppsats, Jönköping University/Hälsohögskolan; Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Författare :Jens Dyekær Nielsen; Sara Overgaard Dich; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Fear of falling; prosthetic user; falls; physical and psychological factors; Falls Efficacy Scale-International; ABC; G-SAP; rädsla för att falla; protestanvändare; falla ramla; fysiska och psykologiska faktorer; Falls Efficacy Scale-International; Activities-specific Balance Confidence; ; Gait-Specific Attentional Profile;

    Sammanfattning : SummaryBackground Prosthetic users face significant challenges both physically and psychologically. Falling poses a significant risk for the individual, and a consequence of this is gaining a fear of falling and self-imposed restrictions. These consequences can have a major impact on the individuals’ health and quality of life. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Developing a cosmetic cover for transtibial amputees

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Författare :Alicia Nordberg; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Amputation; Prosthesis; Cosmetic; Cover; Product development; Design concept; User centered.; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : For someone who has undergone an amputation, it is important to be able to decide what the prosthesis should look like. Since many people today choose to have some sort of cover on their prosthesis, either to fill the void or to regain the feeling of a leg, it is very important that it is something that the user feels comfortable with.

  7. 5. Can electrical pulses be adapted to create life-like perceptions?

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Författare :Carolina Rudervall; [2020]
    Nyckelord :nerve stimulation; electrical stimulation; sensations; TENS; perceptions; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The next big step to improve prosthetics and make the lives of people living with certain physical disabilities less restricted is to provide them with sensory feedback. Today most feedback systems used in prosthetics are mechanical but with the recent developments in sensors and the processing of their input electrical stimulation is becoming an increasingly promising way to convey touch, pressure and movement.
