Prosthetic Satisfaction and Body Image among Lower Limb Amputee: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021 Introduction: Limb amputation not only brings functional and sensory loss, but also leads to loss or change of body image. These changes have significant effect on the Quality of Life (QoL) of an individual.

A Pneumatically Controlled Prosthetic Socket for Transfemoral Amputees
Sensors, 2023 Amputees typically experience changes in residual limb volume in their daily lives. It causes an uncomfortable fit of the socket by applying high pressure on the sensitive area of the residual limb or by loosening the socket.

The relationship between upper extremity strength and performance in elite amputee football players
Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity, 2020 Background: Despite having similar requirements to regular football, amputee football may also require different dynamics due to using crutches. This study investigated the relationship between upper extremity strength and performance in amputee ...
