Zusammenfassung: Poliomyelitis has been eradicated from large parts of the world. Still in India the active transmission of disease persist WHO programme for eradication of polio as currently practiced in India was launched in 1994 The result has been encouraging with fresh polio case decreasing

Zusammenfassung: The concept of sensomotoric insoles by Jahrling allows an improvement of the gait but the scientific substantiation of the method was yet to be accomplished. The aim is to develop a routine for the digital construction and adaptation of individual insoles.

Zusammenfassung: To compare the ability to accomplish the driving test by a sliding device mechanism with the one by a conventional joystick controlled by two elders and to analyze muscle activations during the test. At meanwhile, to calculate and compare the complete time, root mean square error(RMSE) of the tests.

Zusammenfassung: A wheelchair obstacle simulator and an accelerometer instrumented dummy were designed to study accelerations experienced by wheelchair users over rough terrain. The methodology was sensitive to the accelerations experienced and precise enough to aid in wheelchair design for rider comfort.

Zusammenfassung: To improve overall management of physical rehabilitation centres and ensure a high level of service for persons with disabilities, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) developed a specific computer program

Zusammenfassung: This study examined the relationship between depression, anxiety, body image disturbance, and adjustment in 38 persons with diabetes-related lower limb amputations. It was found that such individuals may be at elevated risk for psychological distress.

Zusammenfassung: This paper/poster will highlight the efforts underway in the U.S. Department of Defense at addressing the unique psychosocial needs of veterans returning from war with combat-related amputations.

Zusammenfassung: The aim of this study was to investigate the trajectory of COF in children to provide a reference for further study. Influence of balance strategy by age and the correlation between static and dynamic stability were also studied.

Zusammenfassung: The present study offers a review of the published literature on cognitive functioning in persons with lower limb amputations, with a particular focus on the ways in which this variable has been defined and measured, and examines its relationship with functional outcomes in this population.

Zusammenfassung: The ICF model is an educational instrument for functioning with different diseases. For medico-technical students it gives relation between disease and functioning. Is gives tools for education of healthcare professionals in a team approach with medical and technical interventions towards patients.

Zusammenfassung: Five clinics providing lower limb prosthetic services are collecting outcome data using the Orthotics Prosthetics Users Survey. Project staff reviews data with the facilities and consults on ways to improve service quality. This presentation highlights issues identified during outcome monitoring.

Zusammenfassung: We evaluated the haptic perception of a subject who underwent below elbow amputation of his left forearm 23 years previously as the result of an industrial accident. Our results suggested that the haptic capabilities with the upper prosthetic extremities was not disappeared but conserved some degree

Zusammenfassung: Clinical experience always has been an integral part of P&O education. The importance of preparing prosthetist and orthotist capable of “doing,” as well as “knowing,” has meant that clinical education has remained a significant component of teaching

Zusammenfassung: There are various types of cervical pillows available in the market, generally rectangular shape, the base of the rectangle adjacent to the user’s shoulder being formed with a concave curvature. This type of pillow forces the user to lay in supine position only and dose not allow freedom of movement

Zusammenfassung: A poster has been designed to assist clinicians provide effective pain management in amputees experiencing residual and/ or phantom limb pain.

Zusammenfassung: An unusual severe sports injury of the hand was presented in a 25 year old male. The hand was completely perforated due to a weight lifting injury. Osseous, tendon, nerve and vascular injuries were diagnosed. Despite the severity of the injury, excellent outcomes were attained.

Zusammenfassung: A newly developed Integrated Research Team model has been developed for training Category 1 students in research skills. Faculty members at Univerisdad Don Bosco (UDB) will be mentored by researchers from Queen’s to facilitate supervision and to assist in technical aspects of research projects.

Zusammenfassung: Increasing global demand and awareness have given rise to a number of initiatives focused on developing affordable and biomechanically-appropriate prosthetic technologies. This paper presents the engineering and design of a new body-powered (BP) prosthesis for lower income below-elbow amputees.

Zusammenfassung: New demands placed on the different professions and companies in prosthetics and orthotics require creative solutions in company organisation. Team Ortopedteknik Scandinavia AB has successfully designed and implemented a major change to meet present and future demands.

Zusammenfassung: The "holistic therapy" in treatment of patients with craniomandibular disorders is in the public eye. The cooperation between orthodontics, orthopedics, osteopathy and physiotherapy increases.To achieve an successfully treatment an interdisciplinary understanding is neccessary.

Zusammenfassung: The ability of new capacitive sensor stripes from Nicol Biomechanics is analyzed by pressure distribution measurements under a knee orthosis considering different knee angles. The different parts of the orthosis could be detected clearly which is an indication for reproducibility of the stripes.

Zusammenfassung: In this study hypothetical clinical "load parameters" have been established and tested for their clinical value. This was done because of the need in the clinic for objective diagnosis of the sitfunction. The study was succesfull in establishing objective load parameters.

Zusammenfassung: The results of rehabilitation of children with proximal ectromelia of upper limbs are presented. We used reconstructive surgery and microsurgery for restoration of anatomy and function of upper limbs, simetimes in combination with prosthesis.

Zusammenfassung: In order to test the viability of using extrinsic finger muscles to control individual DoFs of an artificial hand, subjects independently activated the first two compartments of EDC, FDS, and FDP. Initial work has tested EDC and FDS and found three compartments that will serve as independent inputs.

Zusammenfassung: The presentation describes the construction, the manufacturing and the application of knitted spacer fabrics. The results of research projects that are dealing with novel solutions in the field of pressure-reducing insoles, 3d- compression bandages and textile hip protectors will be presented.

Zusammenfassung: This paper will show the work carried out to develop and implement clinical supervisors training for prosthetists and orthotists who act as clinical placement supervisors and partners with the national Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland.

Zusammenfassung: This study identifies motion patterns of children with cerebral palsy. Preliminary results confirmed motion patterns in the sagittal plane and gave new inside in associations between motions in different planes. This could lead to prescription guidelines concerning orthotic treatment.

Zusammenfassung: In this study, the biomechanical evaluation of newly-designed dynamic cushion system with spring element on deep tissue of human buttock was performed by finite element analysis, and the results were compared with the data from pressure measurement to verify the accuracy of computer simulation.
