Purpose Life after any amputation can be significantly altered and can have a significant
impact on quality of life (QoL). However, most of the evidence base involves older aged …

The development of the CAD/CAM (Computer-aided design and computer-aided
manufacturing) system has globally changed the fabrication and delivery of prosthetics and …

Previous research has primarily focused on pre-processing parameters such as design,
material selection, and printing techniques to improve the strength of 3D-printed prosthetic …

It has been proposed that finite element analysis can complement clinical decision making
for the appropriate design and manufacture of prosthetic sockets for amputees. However …

Measurement and production of traditional prosthetic sockets are time-consuming, labor-
intensive, and highly dependent on the personnel involved. An alternative way to make …

Background: Digital residual limb shape capture (three-dimensional [3D] scanning),

Bone-anchored implants give patients with unmanageable stump problems hope for drastic
improvements in function and quality of life and are therefore increasingly considered a …

Materials and Methods A comparative reliability assessment of casting and 3D scanning
was conducted in 11 participants with established transtibial amputation. For each …

Background: Military amputee patient care programs offer extensive services, including
advanced prosthetic devices, to restore function and improve quality of life (QOL) among …
