  1. 11. Major lower limb amputation in peripheral arterial disease : treatment outcome, risk factors, and health-related quality of life

    Författare :Eva Torbjörnsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Critical limb ischemia is the end stage of peripheral arterial disease. These patients have a high risk of amputation and death regardless of revascularization. One of the most important questions for the patient and the surgeon is the risk of amputation despite a revascularization attempt. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Assessment of breast reconstruction with DIEP flaps

    Författare :Stina Klasson; Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :Plastic surgery; breast reconstruction; DIEP flap;

    Sammanfattning : Reconstruction with a Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap is considered to be the first choice forautologous breast reconstruction. Skin and fat are transplanted from the lower abdomen to the chest were theblood vessels are reconnected through microsurgery. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Gait re-education in transfemoral amputees The training programme, gait analysis, oxygen consumption and coping

    Författare :Catharina Sjödahl Hammarlund; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical medicine; kinesitherapy; revalidation; rehabilitation; a psychologically conscious therapeutic approach; coping; energy cost; oxygen consumption; motion analysis; gait speed; amputees; training; gait re-education; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ;

    Sammanfattning : A gait re-education programme, combining physiotherapy with a psychologically conscious therapeutic approach, was applied to nine unilateral transfemoral amputees, whose amputation was caused by trauma or tumour. The participants trained once a week for a mean 10 months. The median age was 33 years (range 16– 51). LÄS MER

  5. 14. Towards clinically viable neuromuscular control of bone-anchored prosthetic arms with sensory feedback

    Författare :Enzo Mastinu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electromyography; prosthetics; sensory feedback; closed-loop; osseointegration; embedded system; pattern recognition; neurostimulation;

    Sammanfattning : Promising developments are currently ongoing worldwide in the field of neuroprosthetics and artificial limb control. It is now possible to chronically connect a robotic limb to bone, nerves, and muscles of a human being, and to use the signals sourced from these connections to enable movements of the artificial limb.

  7. 15. The importance of biomechanical restoration for total hip arthroplasty

    Författare :Sverrir Kiernan; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become a safe and very successful surgical intervention. A vast majority of patients get their expectations met. Improvement of materials, implant designs, and surgical techniques, have extended prosthetic survival. LÄS MER
