Analyses of prosthetic episodes in trans-tibial amputees [PDF]

, 1999
The prosthetic episodes, i.e. actual processes of provision, identifying number of prostheses, their maintenance, repairs and replacements were analysed for 104 trans-tibial amputees aged 16 and over, over a 10 year period.

A biomechanical analysis of running for trans-femoral amputees

, 1998
Lower limb amputation results in changes to the usual pattern of human locomotion. Previous research has shown that amputees walk more slowly due to asymmetries In their movement patterns and that trans-femoral amputee gait was also found to be sensitive

Kinematic gait adaptations in unilateral transtibial amputees during rehabilitation

, 2009
Physiotherapists routinely prescribe the use of two different early walking aids (EWAs) to individuals who have recently undergone unilateral transtibial amputation. No research to date has investigated the kinematic gait patterns of transtibial amputees

Motivations and barriers to prosthesis users participation in physical activity, exercise and sport : a review of the literature

, 2012
The UK will host the Paralympics in 2012 and the Commonwealth Games in 2014 showcasing the talents of elite athletes and aiming to inspire the population to become involved. However, low levels of physical activity (PA) are prevalent: only 40% of men and

Transcutaneous osseointegration for amputees

OTA International
Abstract Transcutaneous osseointegration for amputees (TOFA) is an evolving technology that has the potential to revolutionize the interface between the amputee and their prosthesis, showing potential at many levels of amputation.

Neuromechanics of movement in lower limb amputees [PDF]

, 2012
The design of prosthetic devices and rehabilitation programs can be improved. This is Carolin Curtze’s conclusion on the basis of her dissertation project. Curtze studied the complex inter¬action between brain, body, prosthesis and environment. By means

Tool use induces complex and flexible plasticity of human body representations

, 2012
Plasticity of body representation fundamentally underpins human tool use. Recent studies have demonstrated remarkably complex plasticity of body representation in humans, showing that such plasticity: (1) occurs flexibly across multiple time-scales, and (
