Stephen J. Duff, AASET
|
| |
A new externally powered, myoelectrically controlled partial-hand prosthesis mechanism and prosthetic interface are described. There is a need for such a device in the fitting of amputees with a loss of all digits at or more proximal to the level of ...

The Possible Effects of Solid Ankle-Foot Orthoses on Trunk Posture in the Nonambulatory Cerebral Palsy Population: A Preliminary Evaluation
|
Robin B. Beals, CO
|
| |
Nonambulatory children with cerebral palsy often have some degree of lower extremity spasticity. This can affect a child's trunk posture in a seated position by pulling the pelvis into a posterior tilt, which typically causes a kyphotic position of t...

Plantarflexion Resistance of Selected Ankle-Foot Orthoses: A Pilot Study of Commonly Prescribed Prefabricated and Custom-Molded Alternatives
|
William W. DeToro, CO
|
| |
Very little objective data have been published regarding the control offered by specific ankle-foot orthosis designs, despite their widespread clinical application. In addition, the proliferation of custom designs and prefabricated variants in recent...
