The care and rehabilitation of individuals after lower limb amputation presents a substantial
and growing socioeconomic challenge. Clinical outcome is closely linked to successful …

In direct skeletal attachment (DSA) of limb prostheses, a construct is implanted into an
amputee's residuum bone and protrudes out of the residuum's skin. This technology …

Falling represents a health risk for lower limb amputees fitted with an osseointegrated
fixation mainly because of the potential damage to the fixation. The purpose of this study …

An alternative solution to conventional stump–socket prosthetic limb attachment is offered by
direct skeletal fixation. This study aimed to assess two percutaneous trans-femoral implants …

This study aimed at presenting the intra-tester reliability of the static load bearing exercises
(LBEs) performed by individuals with transfemoral amputation (TFA) fitted with an …

Osseointegrated trans-femoral fixations have been used as alternatives for conventional
sockets in recent years. Despite numerous advantages, the dissimilarity of the mechanical …

Quantitative assessments of prostheses performances rely more and more frequently on gait
analysis focusing on prosthetic knee joint forces and moments computed by inverse …

Background This study presented the load profile applied on transfemoral osseointegrated
implants by bone-anchored prostheses fitted with state-of-the-art ÖSSUR microprocessor …

The amputee population according to the World-Health-Organization is about 40 million.
However, there is a high abandon rate of socket prostheses for the lower limb (25%–57%) …
