INTRODUCTION Additive Manufacturing (AM), colloquial known as 3D-printing, has been deemed capable to revolutionize a great number of industries, including the Health Care industry.1 In the field of upper limb prosthetics, it has been attempted to leverage the potential advantages of AM, such as crowd based design optimization, infrastructure independent fabrication, and economical material use, in the interest of providing low-cost, readily available devices to recipients whose needs were only insufficiently met by traditional approaches of device prescription and fitting. While the popular media has been quick to emphasize the potential – perceived or real – of 3D printed prostheses, clinicians have generally been less euphoric and the base of scientific evidence on questions related to these applications has been small.2 As with most research endeavors in prosthetics and orthotics, recruiting sufficient sample sizes to allow solid conclusions is a perennial challenge also in this sub-field. As a consequence, the effectiveness of the many 3D-printed upper limb devices made by volunteers of the E-nable community (Fig.1) is yet to be determined. Self-reported outcome assessment tools can somewhat mitigate the issue of low sample sizes. However, none have been applied to a wider range of device classes, to allow comparative analyses across those. We describe the development and preliminary testing of an online based survey tool to generate comparison outcome data for a wide variety of upper limb prosthetics devices, including varieties that are 3D-printed by hobbyists.

INTRODUCTION This case series presents prescription, evaluation, fitting and initial functional benefits of a myoelectric elbow- wrist-hand orthosis with active grasp. Custom fit, myoelectric orthoses are now also being provided to patients with upper extremity paresis due conditions such as stroke, brachial plexus injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to enable them to self-initiate and control movement of a partially paretic limb using their own volitional myoelectric signals. A recent study of 18 chronic stroke participants demonstrated functional improvements on the Fugl-Meyer Impairment Scale (FM) and a battery of functional tasks with this device.1 Abstract PDF Link:https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cpoj/article/view/32022/24440 How to cite: Shoemaker E.

INTRODUCTION Upper limb prostheses are commonly prescribed for people with upper limb absence (ULA) to restore function, cosmesis, and assist with activities of daily living. However, nearly one in five people with ULA chooses not to use a prosthesis1 and instead turns to alternative technology and adaptations, pointing to factors beyond prostheses that shape perceptions of ability and quality of life. We examined through interviews the lived experiences of people with ULA framed around their perceptions of ability, device use, and quality of life.

INTRODUCTION Several years ago, a new microprocessor controlled knee (MPK), Genium, was introduced containing sensors, algorithms and technical solutions that enable a range of new functions to lower limb amputees. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effect of the knee on ambulation, mobility, activities of daily living (ADLs) and quality of life (QoL).

INTRODUCTION By enabling users to flex the orthotic leg during swing phase and safely lock it during stance phase, stance control orthosis (SCO) offers clear benefits compared to locked knee-ankle-foot-orthosis (KAFO)1. Since such orthoses do not offer dampened knee flexion in the weight-bearing condition, this represents a limitation in everyday activities such as ramp and stair descent. C-Brace, a microprocessor controlled stance and swing orthosis (SSCO), overcomes many of those problems. Maximum knee flexion angle in stance and swing phase during level walking are closer to physiological values with C-Brace compared to conventional KAFOs2. The patients are with C-Brace able to descend stairs and ramps reciprocally2. Furthermore, patients report of safer and easier ability to perform activities of daily living3. The main aim of next generation C-Brace is a reduction in size and an increase of adaptability to the patient’s anatomic structure. Due to technological changes, improvements especially for difficult ADLs (e.g. walking on uneven ground) are expected.

INTRODUCTION A typical gait pattern includes a heel strike, followed by a smooth transition to foot flat through loading response. Children with poor postural control and related gait deficits often present with anterior weight lines, which result in loss of first rocker and/or a fast transition from initial contact to footflat. The foot has many important jobs, including providing proprioceptive feedback. There are 104 cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the plantar surface of the foot.1 While most of the sensors are in the metatarsal/tarsal and toe regions, we cannot forget the role of the mechanoreceptors in the heel.

INTRODUCTION The prevalence of limb amputation is increasing globally as a devastating experience that can physically and psychologically affect the lifestyle of a person. The residual limb pain and phantom limb pain are common disabling sequelae after amputation surgery. Assistive devices/technologies can be used to relieve pain in people with amputation. The present review aimed to introduce the existing assistive devices/technologies for pain management in people with amputation.

INTRODUCTION For many years, the biomechanical evaluation of prosthetic performance has centred around gait analysis and motion capture. While this provides useful, scientific insights, everyday life is not limited to straight-line, level, steady-state walking. With advancements in portable sensor technology in the last two decades, long-term activity monitoring (AM) has become a more feasible and reliable prospect for accurately representing the real-world walking behaviour of patients. Modern microprocessor knees (MPKs) have begun to have this functionality built into the devices themselves, without the necessity for additional, external hardware.

多年来,假肢性能的生物力学评估一直集中在步态分析和运动捕捉上。虽然这提供了有用的、科学的见解,但日常生活并不局限于直线、水平、稳定的行走。在过去的二十年中,随着便携式传感器技术的进步,长期活动监测(AM)已经成为一种更加可行和可靠的前景,可以准确地代表患者的真实行走行为。现代微处理器膝盖(mpk)已经开始将这种功能内置到设备本身,而不需要额外的外部硬件。摘要PDF链接:https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cpoj/article/view/32031/24448如何引用:Sykes A, Stech N, Laszczak P, McGrath M, Kercher A, Zahedi S, Moser D.集成在微处理器膝盖上的活动监视器的性能。加拿大假肢与矫形学杂志,2018年第1卷第2期;摘要:2018年9月26-29日,加拿大温哥华,美国儿科学会第101届全国代表大会口头报告。摘要由美国矫形义肢协会(AOPA)第101届国民大会科学委员会同行评审。http://www.aopanet.org/

INTRODUCTION Long-term damages after lower extremity amputation have previously been analysed in three systematic reviews 5–7 showing that amputees have a higher risk for developing knee and hip osteoarthritis on the sound side. The altered gait pattern appears to increase the load on the sound side.1–3 This paper analysed the extent to which the above described assumption is supported by the scientific literature with specific focus on the risk of developing back pain and osteoarthritis in amputees.

INTRODUCTION Limb loss rates globally are rising and there is a large unmet need for an affordable and accessible prosthetic system for this growing US and International population. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to assess the feasibility and utility of a novel immediate fit modular prosthetic system (IFIT Prosthetics, LLC™ prosthesis) for transtibial amputees.
