Download or read book A Primer on Amputations and Artificial Limbs written by George Murdoch and published by Charles C. Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1990, under the aegis of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics, the authors organized and co-chaired the International Consensus Conference on Amputation Surgery. Forty-nine distinguished surgeons, prosthetists, and bioengineers from ten countries participated in the five-day session. Realizing a need for greater dissemination of the findings of the conference, the authors, with over a combined century of experience in amputation surgery, prosthetic fitting, and bioengineering, expertly prepared this comprehensive new book based on the recommendations developed by the conferees. The book presents a clear and concise picture of the relationship between skilled surgery and a good prosthetic outcome. The primer is also well-illustrated with numerous line-drawings and photographs. This outstanding text will prove useful to all current and future members of the amputee health-care team. The authors also hope this primer will be especially beneficial to those surgeons who are called upon to amputate infrequently and, more importantly, to all surgeons in training.

Download or read book Biomechanics of Lower Limb Prosthetics written by Mark R. Pitkin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-10-14 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword from a Clinical Biomechanist, Applied Physiologist and Prosthetist teaching graduate students in Prosthetics & Orthotics. While there are many books on Biomechanics, arguably the quintessential science of limb prosthetics, none addresses the fundamental principles in sufficient detail and depth to be practically useful to the prosthetist, rehabilitation specialist or researcher. Dr. Pitkin’s monograph is an exemplary collection of theoretical principles from his research and o- ers, presented in its clinical and applied biomechanics form. The textbook provides an excellent overview of the many facets of lower limb prosthetic design and engineering for the ardent clinician researcher and student. The book delves into many of the basic concepts that are required knowledge for the clinician and the scientist to have as the foundation for their work. Dr. Pitkin has an e- quent manner in which he reflects on the history and literature to tell the storied evolution of prosthetic design . He takes the reader on a journey to consider his theories, which have substantive foundations to contemplate. By the end of chapter one, we have the basic h- tory and an appreciation for the rationale behind the “rolling joint ankle” with evidence to support his theoretical views.
Download or read book Artificial Limbs written by Kira Freed and published by Gareth Stevens Publishing LLLP. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial limbs, or prosthetics, have been recorded in history as early as ancient Egypt. Innovations over the centuries mean that many who are missing or have lost a limb, whether through trauma, disease, or congenital condition, can be fitted with limbs that not only look authentic, but also effectuate the movements of human limbs. This wide-ranging work details the kinds of prostheses available today, how they're made, how they work, the challenges that face those who use them, and exciting advances in prosthetic technology. Readers will marvel at these medical wonders as well as the people who fabricate and utilize them.

Download or read book Limb Amputation written by R. Ham and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of amputations in the western world today are due to vascular disease. Despite the advances in surgical treatment of this disease, particularly by reconstruction, it is a sad fact that the number of amputations performed in these countries each year for vascular disease is increasing. Most of these amputees are elderly and their life expectancy is short, so it is important that the treatment and rehabilitation that they receive is informed, appropriate, efficient and swift to enable them to return successfully to life in the community for their remaining years. Management of this group of patients has proved to be successful only if a multidisciplinary team approach is adopted. Until recently in the UK, this approach sadly has only been implemented by a few centres. However, with the publication of the McColl report into the prosthetic and wheelchair service in 1986, interest in the care of the amputee is growing throughout the country. This book covers all aspects of amputation from disease and diagnosis to rehabilitation and community discharge with emphasis on the man agerneut of the largest group, the vascular lower limb amputee. A team approach is described and emphasized as being essential for good results and subsequent successful return into the community. The role of each of the important disciplines is described in relation to the appropriate part of the rehabilitation phase.
