A Comparison of Current
Biomechanical Terms
|
Susan Sienko Thomas, B.Sc.
Terry J. Supan, C.P.O.
|
| |
The authors contrast the
biomechanical terms used currently
by prosthetists and orthotists
and those used in the field of
motion analysis. An understanding
of biomechanics among prosthetists
and orthotists can better provide
patients with optimum tre...

A Foot Rotary Mechanism for the
Modular Below-Knee Prosthesis
|
Al-Turaiki, M.H.S., B.Sc. (Hons). Ph.D.
|
| |
The body's center of gravity is
displaced anteriorly in the sitting
position in many below-knee
amputees fitted with PTB modular
prostheses. The author incorporates a
reliable foot rotator in this prosthesis
to alleviate this and other problems

A New Device for the Treatment of
Metarsus Adductus
|
Andrew Chong, M.S., F.M.C.S.(c), F.A.C.S.
|
| |
While the usual treatment of moderate
to severe metatarsus adductus has
been serial castings, a new device has
been developed which may be used as
an alternative to castings.

Myoelectric Hand Orthosis
|
Nisim Benjuya, Ph.D.
Steven B. Kenney, B.S.M.E.
|
| |
A new myoelectric hand orthosis,
primarily for the spinal cord injury
patient at the C5-6 level, is developed.
The device offers compatibility with
the daily activities of the user without
interference.

Hybrid Arm Orthosis
|
Nisim Benjuya, Ph.D.
Steven B. Kenney, B.S.M.E.
|
| |
The researchers approach the problem
of disabled arm motion and design a
hybrid arm orthosis which offers body
powered shoulder abduction and
elbow flexion, motor-powered wrist
supination, and a three-joint jaw
chuck pinch.
