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

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%) …

The purpose of this proof-of-concept study was to determine the relevance of direct
measurements to monitor the load applied on the osseointegrated fixation of transfemoral …

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 …

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 …

Materials and Methods The costs of transfemoral socket prostheses and BAP were extracted
from the Queensland Artificial Limb Service's regulatory documentation according to K …

Osseointegrated transfemoral amputation prostheses have proven successful as an
alternative method to the conventional socket‐type prostheses. The method improves …

The objectives of this study were (A) to record the inner prosthesis loading during activities
of daily living (ADL),(B) to present a set of variables comparing loading data, and (C) to …
