Prinsen EC, Nederhand MJ, Rietman JS. Adaptation strategies of the lower extremities of
patients with a transtibial or transfemoral amputation during level walking: a systematic …

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 …

Treatment with osseointegrated transfemoral prostheses has been shown to improve quality
of life. The treatment has been performed in Sweden since 1990 and consists of two surgical …

The purpose of this study was to characterize the functional outcome of 12 transfemoral
amputees fitted with osseointegrated fixation using temporal gait characteristics. The …

Background and purpose Rehabilitation of patients with transfemoral amputations is
particularly difficult due to problems in using standard socket prostheses. We wanted to …

This study directly measured the load acting on the abutment of the osseointegrated implant
system of transfemoral amputees during level walking, and studied the variability of the load …

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 …

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 …

The purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the relevance of the categorization of
the load regime data to assess the functional output and usage of the prosthesis of lower …
