Sääriamputoitujen henkilöiden kokemuksia aavesäryistä ja niiden hoitomuodoista [PDF]
Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli selvittää sääriamputoitujen henkilöiden kokemuksia aavesäryistä sekä niiden hoitomuodoista. Opinnäytetyötä varten toteutettiin kolme teemahaastattelua, jotka noudattivat laadullisen tutkimuksen periaatteita.

Examination of anticipated chemical shift and shape distortion effect on materials commonly used in prosthetic socket fabrication when measured using MRI: a validation study [PDF]
The quality of lower-limb prosthetic socket fit is influenced by shape and volume consistency during the residual limb shape-capturing process (i.e., casting). Casting can be quantified with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.

Pain Management Resource Guide for Caregivers of Children with Phantom Limb Pain [PDF]
Approximately 80% of children, under the age of 18, develop phantom limb pain within one year after receiving an amputation (Burgoyne, Billups, Jiron, Kaddoum, Wright, Bikhazi, Parish, & Pereiras, 2012; Krane & Heller, 1995).
