Zusammenfassung: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data are obtained for the residual limb. In a postsegmentation step of the MRI data, three-dimensional solid models of major tissues of the residual limb are constructed and optimized for enhanced performance of numerical analysis and simulation.

Zusammenfassung: In our study we investigated the reliability of 4 methods to measure stump volume on in-vivo stumps. Calculated repeatability coefficients (RCs) vary from 129 ml until 158 ml and are substantially higher compared to measurements that were performed on stump-models (1).

Zusammenfassung: A survey was conducted to investigate the use of CAD in prosthetic manufacture in the UK. The survey employed a questionnaire designed to determine the methods used, frequency of use and the perceptions of clinical staff.

Zusammenfassung: The motion of the residual-tibia within a trans-tibial socket was examined so far only by X-ray. In this pre-study now the motion of the residual tibia is to be described during gait using ultrasound data. The results of measurement raised here are to adapt a better socket fit individually.

Zusammenfassung: TTm pop® and TFm pop® liners provides stability of residual limb(amputation stump)in 86% of cases, even when cicatrisation is not yet complete.This technique requires appropriate training to use it correctly, as well as an understanding of the few contraindications that absolutely must be observed.

Zusammenfassung: This study compares two prosthetic systems to generate vacuum suspension in trans-tibial amputees with unhealed wounds on the stump in terms of trend to heal the stump lesions, time to prosthesis fitting and start of gait rehabilitation, and mobility.
