Reconstruction can be surgical or prosthetic. A small residuum leaves little scope for rehabilitation with suction-retained prosthesis. Prosthetic management requires implant placement or distraction osteogenesis to be successful. This report presents the use of bone-anchored dental implants to support a prosthesis for rehabilitation of an amputated thumb. Case Description Satisfactory osseointegration of a dental implant placed in the amputated right pollex of a 24-year-old woman was achieved, after a two-stage surgical procedure. A healing abutment, which is normally placed transitionally after second-stage surgery, was modified to create a permanent friction fit coping. This was used to retain the silicone thumb. Discussion and Conclusions The study to some extent established off-the-label use of dental implants in rehabilitating amputated digits. Also, the friction fit retention system proved to be a cost- and armamentarium-effective method of retaining thumb prosthesis for cases with small residuum. Clinical Relevance This report describes a procedure for two-stage surgical placement of an osseointegrated dental implant in an amputated thumb with fabrication of prosthesis, which was effectively retained by a modified healing abutment.","PeriodicalId":53702,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics","volume":"34 1","pages":"e103 - e108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47990791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Literature does not establish a recommended period or a standard intensity of stimulation to achieve training and therapeutic effects in individuals after stroke. The objective of this study was to evaluate the training and therapeutic effects of 2 weeks of FDS use combined with intensive treadmill gait training in chronic poststroke individuals. Materials and Methods The study design was a quasiexperimental clinical trial. Participants underwent gait training on a treadmill associated with FDS stimulation for 20 minutes, five times a week for 2 weeks. Gait analysis was measured at pre-training and 2 weeks after the training with FDS off/on mode. Results Sixteen chronic poststroke individuals were included. One participant was excluded from the analysis due to data processing fault. After the period of training, and with the orthosis on mode on, individuals ameliorated the active dorsiflexion and increased the distance covered, that is, positive training effect of FDS use. Training and therapeutic effects were not observed in other outcomes. Conclusions Our results demonstrated a positive training effect on ankle active movement during gait. FDS combined with gait training is able to increase the total distance walked after 2 weeks of treatment. Clinical Relevance FDS ameliorated the active dorsiflexion and increased the distance covered in people with chronic poststroke. Our results suggest a positive training effect of FDS that can guide physiotherapists in their clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":53702,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics","volume":"34 1","pages":"213 - 222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48382349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies using muscle motion patterns and its combination with EMG in the context of pattern recognition for evaluation of the muscles and human-machine interface system in able-bodied individuals and limb-absent subjects are scarce. Material and Methods In this context, this research presents the assessment of the classification of patterns formed by features extracted from both muscle motion and electromyographic signals. Data sets were collected from both arms of five unilateral transradial limb-absent subjects and seven able-bodied subjects in the control group. The features from the EMG and the muscle motion such as amplitude, frequency, predictability, and variability of the signals were estimated. Results The results were presented in terms of the sensitivity, specificity, precision, and accuracy of the classifier. The combination of both measurements, EMG and muscle motion, defined the six basic movements for limb-absent subjects within an accuracy of 98% ± 1% for the sound forearm against 96% ± 4% for the amputated forearm. Conclusions For future work, it is expected that the strategy of classification and the combination of inertial and electromyographic activity will be used in actual scenarios for the controlling of artificial limbs and other applications related to human-machine interaction. Clinical Relevance The use of inertial sensors may increase the usability and accuracy of systems used for diagnosing, training, therapy, or controlling devices such as orthoses and prostheses.","PeriodicalId":53702,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics","volume":"35 1","pages":"83 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45533645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on a retrospective analysis of anonymized UL prosthetic maintenance data to establish if there were any patterns of repairs at a regional prosthetic limb-fitting center in the United Kingdom. A secondary aim of this study is to describe the patient demographics of this center. Methods Data containing prosthetic repair log and demographic description (n = 212) were acquired through our clinical partners and subjected to statistical analyses. Results On average, each client visited the center 0.2 times/year for a new device and 0.9 times/year for maintenance-related activities. It is found that the repair rates are generally higher for body-powered devices (1.28 visits/device per year) compared with passive (0.94 visits/device per year) and externally powered devices (0.90 visits/device per year). In keeping with the typical UK UL-deficient population, there is a high male-to-female ratio, and higher instances of traumatic amputations were noticed for males at the center. There is a very high preponderance of congenital cases and an overall emphasis on prescribing passive devices to a majority of patients at the center. Conclusions The data from our study are similar to previously published data from other centers and show a consistent pattern in terms of relative rates of maintenance attendances for different types of UL prostheses. Clinical Relevance This study provides a longitudinal perspective and insights on ever-changing requirements (prostheses and related care) of the users at the level of a regional limb-fitting center. This study underscores current gaps in prosthetic device durability/reliability and opens up avenues for improvement of prosthetic services and devices.","PeriodicalId":53702,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics","volume":"34 1","pages":"223 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46091191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mainly, prosthetic costs are too high, and facilities are not within reach. Measurement and production of traditional prosthetic sockets are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and highly dependent on the experience and skills of the personnel involved. Materials and Methods This report describes the workflow to produce low-cost patella tendon bearing transtibial prosthetic sockets. Using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), transtibial prostheses can be easily produced in rural areas. The size of the residual limb was scanned with a handheld 3D-scanner (Einscanner Pro Plus), and the sockets were printed using fused filament fabrication (FFF) with an Ultimaker S5. The foot was made locally, and the other prosthetic parts were imported. The 3D-printed socket costs US $20 (excluding value-added tax [VAT]). The total material cost of the prosthesis, including the other prosthetic materials, amounts to approximately US $100 (excluding VAT). Assuming the asset cost of the devices, the costs of one local employee, overhead expenses, a profit margin, and the VAT included, a 3D-printed prosthesis could be sold for US $170. Conclusions This report provides a blueprint to produce low-cost 3D-printed transtibial prosthetic sockets. Further research will be conducted to replace the imported prosthetic parts for local products and to automatize the digital design process. Clinical Relevance With this workflow, prosthetic sockets can be produced consistently, which makes it a suitable method in LMICs.","PeriodicalId":53702,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics","volume":"35 1","pages":"e30 - e36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44592276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We need to understand the supply of prosthetic and orthotic services and prosthetists and orthotists (P&Os) to optimize care. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the recent and the future supply and demand for P&Os in Singapore. Methods This was a retrospective medical record review. We identified the seven conditions requiring prosthetic and orthotic services and applied condition-specific admission rates on the projected population of Singapore through 2060 to obtain the number of inpatient admissions requiring the services. We then converted these numbers to prosthetist/orthotist hours by multiplying by prosthetist/orthotist workload for each condition. Finally, we applied two supply scenarios to examine potential P&O shortfall. Results The shortfall was estimated to be 9.4 and 5.4 in 2016 under the respective scenarios. These gaps increase to 18.4 and 5.8, respectively, in 2030, and 28.1 and 6.2, respectively, in 2060. Conclusions The existing shortfall of P&Os in Singapore will continue to grow from 2016 to 2060.

The purpose of this research was to compare surfers with lower-limb amputations with judged wave scores and surfing experience for para surfing classification efficacy. Materials and Methods Collected archived data (n = 20) from classification records included demographics, residual limb lengths, surfing experiences, and judged wave scores. Continuous variables age (years), residual leg length (cm), remaining leg length (%), prior surfing experience (years), and duration of competing experience (years) were analyzed using independent sample t-test. Ordinal variables surfing performance scores of 2019 and 2020 between the groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Spearman ρ correlation coefficient was used to determine the association between the duration of prior surfing experience and duration of competition experience with the surfing score in both groups. Results Surfers with TFA with longer residual limb lengths (n = 3) and surfers with TTA (n = 14) surfed with a prosthetic leg standing. Surfers with TFA with shorter residual limb lengths (n = 3) surfed without a prosthesis kneeling. We found that para surfers who stood or kneeled with TFA performed significantly better than para surfers with TTA, reflected through judged wave scores in 2019 (P = 0.028) and 2020 (P = 0.019). No statistically significant relationship existed between para surfers with TFA who kneeled or stood.

Methods This small-n survey has recruited 28 individuals with Bil UL Loss, 27 of whom are prosthesis wearers. Twelve of the 28 lost four limbs to sepsis; 17 of the 27 prosthesis wearers use body-powered hooks, six use electric hooks, and four use electric hands as their dominant terminal device (within this report, dominant side is the wearer's postloss dominant side, i.e., the side the subject used more frequently). The survey used person-to-person interviews to compile the broad data about how tasks are performed, how many tasks are performed, whether two prostheses are used, and other details. Results Users of each type of prosthesis demonstrate a high level of function. Electric hook users scored slightly higher in number of tasks and other measures. However, no outcomes were significant statistically, except the use of the dominant side prosthesis, which was three times higher than the nondominant side usage. Users identified a dozen categories for desired improvements, with greater dependability and greater grip security as the most commonly requested. Discussion The information will be useful for not only for clinical guidance, but hopefully also to help guide the development of future prosthetic devices, considering that the disabled community has called for prioritizing the actual needs and desires of the consumers to guide future developments.

Materials and Methods A child with motor disabilities who cannot sit independently benefits from a custom floor sitting frame. The sitting frame's thoracic lumbar sacral orthosis and hip spica orthosis are separate entities but are used together to allow a child to sit on the floor independently. Although the presented child does not need added head support, the TLSO-HSO sitting frame can be fabricated with cervical support. This sitting frame has a versatile joint allowing for movement between upright sitting and sitting with upper-limb weight bearing. The frame's hip joint can also be locked in different degrees of tilt. The described child uses the frame in a locked 90° upright position. Evaluation, fitting, fabrication, and reimbursement submission is explained. Conclusions Floor sitting is an important developmental milestone. Available equipment, such as floor sitters and compression garments intended to support a child in sitting, fail to sufficiently support all children with significant motor disabilities who have floor sitting goals. The TLSO-HSO sitting frame is a custom-made floor sitter that may give children with significant motor disabilities who have emerging neck and trunk control the support they need to independently sit on the floor.
