El nivel de confort de un paciente amputado transfemoral está ligado al coeficiente de fricción (CF) en la interfaz Socket-Muñón, se ha demostrado experimentalmente que las características superficiales del elemento que ...

The liner works as an interface between the prosthesis socket and the user's residual limb, provides comfort, safety, pressure relief, high temperature control and can optimize the suspension system for transtibial and ...

Abstract—In South America, there are few companies that are interested in the creation of prostheses and this, together with the little technological progress, makes patients with transfemoral amputation unable to perform ...

Historically, the design and fitting of prostheses had to rely on a slow process of trial and error, depending on the expertise of the prosthetist. Therefore, a clear definition of the concept of comfort and clear knowledge ...

Background: Amputations of lower limbs can be conducted as one-stage amputation (OSA) or staged amputation (SA) procedures. The objective of this study was to analyze technical success and mortality rates of both techniques, ...

Ground reaction forces (GRF) and electromyographic activity form a part of the descriptive data that characterise the biomechanics of gait. The research of these parameters is important in establishing gait training and ...
