Design and Fabrication of a New Expandable Transtibial Liner with Manual Volume Control: A Prototype [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering, 2020
Diurnal volume changes is one of the main factors influencing socket fit in transtibial prosthesis and causing pressure problem issues. Embedded bladder liners have been recently a potential approach to deal with this problem.

Effects of powered versus passive-elastic ankle foot prostheses on leg muscle activity during level, uphill and downhill walking

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
People with transtibial amputation (TTA) using passive-elastic prostheses have greater leg muscle activity and metabolic cost during level-ground and sloped walking than non-amputees. Use of a stance-phase powered (BiOM) versus passive-elastic prosthesis

Clinical Outcome of Medial Meniscal Posterior Root Tear Repaired by Arthroscopic Transtibial Pull-through Technique in a Middle-aged Population – A Case Series

Journal of Orthopedics, Traumatology and Rehabilitation, 2023
Introduction: Patients with partial meniscectomy for MMPRTs still develop early osteoarthritis, have poor clinical outcomes, and have a high arthroplasty rate at a follow-up of 8 more than 5 years.

An artificial gastrocnemius for a transtibial prosthesis [PDF]

2009 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2009
A transtibial amputee does not have a functional gastrocnemius muscle, which affects the knee as well as the ankle joint. In this investigation, we developed a transtibial prosthesis comprising an artificial gastrocnemius mechanism as well as a powered ankle-foot device. A pilot study was conducted with a bilateral transtibial amputee walking at a self-

Five-year outcomes of major lower extremity amputation and two-staged admission pathway for new transtibial amputees in a local hospital

Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, 2022
Background: Transtibial amputation and subsequent prosthetic fitting can cause prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS). Recently, a two-staged admission pathway for new transtibial amputees was introduced in a local hospital to shorten hospital LOS ...

Running-specific prosthesis model, stiffness and height affect biomechanics and asymmetry of athletes with unilateral leg amputations across speeds

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Athletes with transtibial amputation (TTA) use running-specific prostheses (RSPs) to run. RSP configuration likely affects the biomechanics of such athletes across speeds.

AN INNOVATIVE FOOT MODULE WITH EASILY ACCESSIBLE FRONTAL PLANE ADAPTATION ENHANCES THE LOCOMOTION ON UNEVEN GROUND

Canadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2018
INTRODUCTION Real-life outdoor walking of amputees is challenged by uneven ground. Uneven ground requires either a component adaptation in the sagittal plane or in frontal plane or both.
