Zusammenfassung: In a prospective study patients after transfemoral amputation are provisioned with an ischial containment socket and with an anatomical or ramus containment socket. The two provisions are compared intraindividually from clinical, biomechanical and prosthetic aspects.

Zusammenfassung: A three-dimensional solid model of major tissue of the residual limb is developed from MRI data. To conduct further analysis and simulations, solid models of major tissues are to be assigned respective material models and specific interaction properties in Abaqus Finite Element software.

Zusammenfassung: Influence of skin problems on vocation and/or hobbies was assessed with a questionnaire (giving a sum score, range 0-27). There were 805 participants (507 had skin problems). The mean sum score was 5.5 (SD=4.1). The sum score significantly correlated with the number of complaints (r= .483, p=.01).

Zusammenfassung: Manufacturing of prosthetic limbs sockets produces irritant gases and dusts. We are working towards developing a safer composite material derived from plant based resins with a view to subsequent production and ISO testing.

Zusammenfassung: This project investigates the effect of prosthetic gel liner thickness on compliance at the residual limb-prosthetic socket interface, pressure distribution on the residual limb, and selected gait parameters related to shock absorption.

Zusammenfassung: With recent developments in technology that provide the ability to observe forces placed on the residual limb, the investigation of how high impact activities will effect these forces becomes possible. Using running as experimental condition and walking as a baseline we collected force data sets.

Zusammenfassung: This article is aimed to provide a summarized understanding of the methods ‎used to evaluate the socket fit in lower limb prostheses for prosthetists or ‎specialists and includes a brief introduction, accuracy, pros and cons and ‎limitations to each method.‎

Zusammenfassung: The sand casting system uses the dilatency phenomenon to its best use by fabricating the socket with some material which can be reutilized and the socket/liner too in more accurate,quicker and cost effective way.The time reducing factor is important for a developing country with large no of amputees
