PARTIAL FOOT PROSTHESISKaur, ManupreetGuident
Partial foot prostheses can be used to redistribute the plantar pressure on the residual limb to alleviate local pressures. The aim of this study was to describe the fabrication of an original silicone foot prosthesis that provided an improved functional outcome for a patient with a transmetatarsal...
A new socket system was developed with vacuum-assisted suspension for a person with partial foot amputation to take advantage of this better coupling. The purpose of this case study was to evaluate the use of a partial foot prosthesis with vacuum-assisted suspension in a 68-year-old man with...
In the present study, FEA analysis was conducted to test the feasibility of chopartsocket prosthesis with two different materials, viz. polypropylene and carbon fiber with three laminations. Results showed that carbon fibers givea higher strength-to-weight ratioand providegreater stiffness in the ...
The present invention relates to a custom prosthesis for patients with partial-foot amputation and the method for manufacturing the same, wherein the prosthesis is formed of polypropylene and possess a structural reinforcement of composite material, integrated by different aligned layers of carbon fiber...
Integrated Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) with Silicone Foot Prosthesis in the Management of Partial Foot Amputation – A Case StudySurajit Kumar SahuMinakshi BeheraK C Sumithra
The aim of this study was to estimate the dorsi-plantar flexion moment created by the ventral shell in partial foot prosthesis. The use of a pressure pad enabled a biomechanical approach to calculate the moment applied through the shank in different prostheses. The characteristics of the estimated...
Articulated vs. fixed carbon-fiber prosthesis in individual with partial foot amputation: Study casedoi:10.1016/j.rehab.2016.07.070Objective Toe filler combined to ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) can be used to improve gait after a partial foot amputation. The AFOMarie...
