It is therefore critical to follow safe DS-TF fabrication procedures using protective equipment for clinicians and amputee which means process training and practice of DS-TF fabrication should never be underrated.34 The current standard of care for TF interface design focuses on the proximal aspect of the socket to achieve a stable stance-phase connection between socket and amputee. keywords: baseline; casting; device; direct; fabrication; https://doi.org/10.33137/cpoj.v3i2.34672; interface; limb; marable; method; outcomes; prosthesis; satisfaction; services; socket; study; subjects; transfemoral cache: cpoj-34672.pdf plain text: cpoj-34672.txt item: #71 of 116 id: cpoj-35070 author: Ghoseiri, Kamiar; Allami, Mostafa ; Murphy, Justin R. ; Page, Phillip ; Button, Duane C. title: INVESTIGATION OF LOCALIZED SKIN TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE TRANSTIBIAL RESIDUAL LIMB date: 2021-01-12 words: 7079 flesch: 41 summary: Journal Homepage: https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cpoj/index ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Interventions to resolve thermal discomfort as a common complaint in amputees are usually chosen based on the residual limb skin temperature while wearing prosthesis; whereas, less attention has been paid to residual limb skin temperature while outside of the prosthesis.

Adjustability has been stated as a desire for patients and as a potential solution to socket fit issues for several years, but market penetration for adjustable sockets in clinical prosthetics has been limited primarily due to lack of reimbursement.2 Adjustable-volume sockets present increased options for customization to the patient, present efficiencies during the fitting process, and allow for prolonged maintenance of fit compared to rigid-volume sockets.13 keywords: custom; fabrication; fit; https://doi.org/10.33137/cpoj.v4i2.35208; klenow; limb; market; patient; prosthetic; schulz; sockets; systems; time; volume; volume sockets cache: cpoj-35208.pdf plain text: cpoj-35208.txt item: #77 of 116 id: cpoj-35213 author: McGrath, Michael; Davies, KC; Gallego, Ana; Laszczak, Piotr; Tang, Jinghua; Zahedi, Saeed; Moser, David title: USING A SWEATING RESIDUUM/SOCKET INTERFACE SIMULATOR FOR THE EVALUATION OF SWEAT MANAGEMENT LINERS IN LOWER LIMB PROSTHETICS date: 2021-03-19 words: 4903 flesch: 49 summary: Prosthetic liners worn on the residuum can also amplify sweating at the residuum-liner interface, as they have poor thermal conductivity5 and little permeability.6 The socket and residual limb are often considered a single entity with a rigid connection.

Comparison of prosthetic costs and service between osseointegrated and conventional suspended transfemoral prostheses. Economic evaluations of prosthetic care innovations Promoters of prosthetic care interventions, including end- users, providers of prosthetic solutions, and administrators of healthcare organizations, are increasingly motivated to demonstrate the socio-economic benefits of their innovations.1-3 OPEN ACCESS Volume 4, Issue 2, Article No.10. 2021 Journal Homepage: https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cpoj/index ABSTRACT A preliminary cost-utility analysis (CUA) of prosthetic care innovations can provide timely information during the early stage of product development and clinical usage. keywords: analysis; care; care innovations; cost; cua; cuas; doi; evidence; framework; frossard; health; https://doi.org/10.33137/cpoj.v4i2.36365; innovation; outcomes; preliminary; prosthetic; step; utility; utility analysis cache: cpoj-36365.pdf plain text: cpoj-36365.txt item: #95 of 116 id: cpoj-36366 author: Guirao, Lluis; Samitier , Beatriz ; Frossard, Laurent title: A PRELIMINARY COST-UTILITY ANALYSIS OF THE PROSTHETIC CARE INNOVATIONS: CASE OF THE KEEP WALKING IMPLANT date: 2021-09-21 words: 11241 flesch: 48 summary: Alternatively, primary analyses could aggregate actual and generic costs presented here and in other recent studies.19,20 Meanwhile, modeling CUAs could consider costs and utilities presented here to modify or develop specific Bayesian or Markov models.51 These analyses could predict the outcomes of KWI from broader health care perspectives aggregating utilities as well as fixed and ongoing surgical, medical, and prosthetic care costs over a scalable timeline (e.g., lifetime), assuming that issues with siloed healthcare financial systems could be overcome. Assessments of health economic benefits of KWI using either primary or modeling approaches will benefit from stratified analyses considering a wide range of case-mixes with various demographics (e.g., young vs. elderly), causes of amputation (e.g., vascular vs. non-vascular), functional levels (e.g., K-Level), attachments (e.g., socket vs. BAP), multiple prosthetic fittings with liners, knees and ankles/feet (e.g., basic vs. advanced components) from healthcare, and societal perspectives (e.g., return to work).34,47,70,71 CONCLUSIONS A preliminary CUA comparing the provision of prosthetic care, particularly socket fittings, without (usual intervention) and with the KWI (new intervention) was performed for the first time.
