6. Benefits and use of myoelectric arm prostheses : outcomes, influencing factors and experiences
Sammanfattning : People with acquired upper limb loss or congenital limb reduction deficiency are often offered a myoelectric prosthesis to compensate for the missing hand. A common problem is the non-use of prostheses, and lack of training has been suggested as a reason for this. LÄS MER
7. Touching on elements for a non-invasive sensory feedback system for use in a prosthetic hand
Sammanfattning : Hand amputation results in the loss of motor and sensory functions, impacting activities of daily life and quality of life. Commercially available prosthetic hands restore the motor function but lack sensory feedback, which is crucial to receive information about the prosthesis state in real-time when interacting with the external environment.

8. On the pathogenesis of infections associated with percutaneous osseointegrated orthopaedic implants
Sammanfattning : Orthopaedic implants enable the restitution of locomotor function and improve the quality of life of many people. However, biomaterial-associated infection may occur due to the propensity of microorganisms to adhere and colonize implant surfaces. LÄS MER
9. Major lower limb amputation in peripheral arterial disease : treatment outcome, risk factors, and health-related quality of life
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
10. Prosthetic fitting : stump-socket interaction in transtibial amputees
Sammanfattning : This thesis is comprised of five different studies, all concerning the interaction between the transtibial amputation stump and the prosthetic socket. The aim was to analyse some of the factors influencing this interaction.CAD CAM (Computer Aided Design Computer Aided Manufacturing) and roentgen were used as measuring instruments. LÄS MER
