This book was released on 2017 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prosthetists currently lack quantifiable measures to guide prosthesis prescriptions and must rely on experience and manufacturer recommendations. Studies have shown that stiffness and energy storage characteristics of prosthetic feet significantly influence amputee gait. Consequently, several studies have attempted measure these mechanical characteristics, but typically measure only a few orientations in a single plane. This study examined the stiffness and energy storage characteristics of several prostheses over normal gait orientations with the goal of improving prosthesis prescriptions. Feet from five different manufacturers were tested with twenty-five different combinations of foot style, stiffness category and heel wedge inclusion. Force-displacement data were collected at fifteen sagittal orientations and five coronal orientations, and were used to calculate stiffness and energy storage. Loading conditions at each sagittal orientation were determined using a representative amputee’s scaled walking data. Stiffness and energy storage were found to be highly non-linear in both the sagittal and coronal planes. Across all feet, stiffness was greatest near foot flat in the sagittal plane. Generally, stiffness decreased with greater heel, forefoot, medial and lateral loading orientations. Energy storage was greatest for forefoot loading and increased with medial or lateral loading orientations. As stiffness category increased within a foot style, stiffness increased and energy stored decreased. However, the recommended weight for a given foot was not linearly related to stiffness or energy storage. In addition, feet with similar manufacturer recommended weight ranges had varied energy storage over all orientations and varied stiffness over heel and foot flat loading orientations. Inclusion of heel wedges increased stiffness and decreased energy storage over heel and foot flat loading for the Vari-Flex with EVO foot, but not the Sierra foot. These results may help improve clinical prescriptions by providing prosthetists with quantitative measures to compare feet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise guide offers an ideal overview of both the practical and theoretical aspects of foot and ankle surgery for trainees and junior consultants. Easy to read chapters cover all areas of surgery, from examination, imaging, and the biomechanics of the foot and ankle, to specific conditions including amputations and prostheses, deformities, arthritis, cavus and flat foot, sports injuries, Achilles tendon, benign and malignant tumors and heel pain. Fractures and dislocations of the ankle, hind-, mid- and forefoot are also covered, as are the foot in diabetes and pediatrics. Written by a team of international experts, the text is an accessible way to prepare for postgraduate examinations and manage patients successfully.
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.
