Prosthetic devices are intended to return lower limb amputees to their pre-amputation functional status. However, prosthetic devices designed for unilateral below-knee amputees have yet to completely restore the biomechanical functions normally provided by the ankle muscles, leading to gait asymmetries and...
Residual Limb Volume Change in the Early Post-operative Phase after Below-the-knee Amputation : A Report of Three Cases For lower limb amputees, good prosthetic fittings are important for wearing prostheses while ensuring gait stability, without skin breakdown. Poor prosthet... Yohei,Tanaka,Takaaki...
The AirCirc: design and development of a thermal management prototype device for below-knee prosthesis leg socket This study describes a newly developed prosthetic leg socket design for a below-knee amputation. Excessive heat and the resulted perspiration within a prosthetic socket were the most commo...
Novel amputation procedure makes walking with a prosthetic leg feel more seamless Anovel surgical technique could dramatically improve walking for people with below-the-knee amputations and help them better control their prosthetics. Astudy published Monday in Nature Medicineshowed that trial participants ...

prosthetic feet are available to simulate the action of a natural foot after an amputation below theknee. At least one available foot-ankleprosthesis is controlled by a microprocessor. It uses feedback from sensors to adjust joint movement, making walking more efficient and reducing the risk of ...
Thrombolysis alone was successful in 10 patients, whose grafts remained patent for the remainder of the study. Thrombolysis was unsuccessful or lesions were identified that required placement of a new bypass graft in 11 patients. One patient required a below-the-knee amputation after unsuccessful ...
absence of a limb. Prosthetic limbs are classified according to the level of amputation: above the knee, below the knee, above the elbow, and below the elbow. Preference in terms of prosthetic use and selection is often based on considerations for functionality, aesthetic, and/or health ...
