A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a

Residual Limb Hyperhidrosis in Prosthetic Users: First Prospective Pilot of Topical Antiperspirant Treatment

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Residual limb hyperhidrosis (RLH) is a frequent and debilitating condition among lower‐limb prosthetic users. Although aluminium chloride is recommended first‐line for focal hyperhidrosis, its efficacy in RLH has not previously been evaluated in prospective studies.

Mental Health and Corresponding Interventions for Persons With Physical Disabilities: A Scoping Review

open access: yesMedicine Advances, EarlyView.
This scoping review of 33 studies maps the landscape of mental health in persons with physical disabilities. It finds a high prevalence of depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, and other psychological problems, but highlights significant heterogeneity across studies in sample size, measurement, and representativeness.
