TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES IN HEALTH ECONOMIC EVALUATIONS OF PROSTHETIC CARE INNOVATIONS

open access: yesCanadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2021
Overcoming obstacles to prosthetic fittings requires frequent tryouts of sockets and components. Repetitions of interventions are upsetting for users and place substantial economic burden on healthcare systems.

A PRELIMINARY COST-UTILITY ANALYSIS OF THE PROSTHETIC CARE INNOVATIONS: BASIC FRAMEWORK

open access: yesCanadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2021
A preliminary cost-utility analysis (CUA) of prosthetic care innovations can provide timely information during the early stage of product development and clinical usage. Concepts of preliminary CUAs are emerging.

Highly integrated bionic prostheses resolve the thermal asymmetry between residual amputated and contralateral limbs

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Residual limbs after amputation present colder temperatures than unaffected contralateral limbs. This temperature asymmetry has been attributed to autonomic and cognitive factors, such as changes in body representation.

INVESTIGATION OF LOCALIZED SKIN TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE TRANSTIBIAL RESIDUAL LIMB

open access: yesCanadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2021
BACKGROUND: Interventions to resolve thermal discomfort as a common complaint in amputees are usually chosen based on the residual limb skin temperature while wearing prosthesis; whereas, less attention has been paid to residual limb skin temperature ...

A Two‐Stage Questionnaire and Actigraphy Screening for iRBD in a Multicenter Retrospective Cohort

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Isolated rapid‐eye‐movement sleep behavior disorder is a prodromal marker of synucleinopathies. However, most cases remain undiagnosed due to the insufficient predictive value of questionnaires and limited access to confirmatory video‐polysomnography. We assessed a two‐stage screening strategy combining a brief questionnaire on rapid‐

Touch on predefined areas on the forearm can be associated with specific fingers: Towards a new principle for sensory feedback in hand prostheses

open access: yesJournal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2019
Objective: Currently available hand prostheses lack sensory feedback. A “phantom hand map”, a referred sensation, on the skin of the residual arm is a possible target to provide amputees with non-invasive somatotopically matched sensory feedback.

Effect of temperature-control liner materials on long-term outcomes of lower limb prosthesis use: a randomized controlled trial protocol

open access: yesTrials, 2020
Background In people living with limb loss, addressing the resulting functional deficit with prostheses increases the risk for secondary conditions such as pressure sores, impaired blood perfusion, and injuries from accidental falls.
