▼ Background There are more than 300,000 persons in the U.S. living with transfemoral amputation (TFA). Persons with TFA use a knee prosthesis for gait and mobility. Presently, the C-Leg microprocessor knee prosthesis is the standard of care. C-Leg has significantly improved safety and cost efficacy and has created modest gains in gait efficiency. Recently, a new prosthesis has introduced a new sensor array and processor that reportedly improves knee motion, stair function and standing stability. Early claims of the reported functional benefits of the new Genium knee (formerly X2) have not been validated in a rigorous clinical trial. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to determine if the Genium knee improves safety, function and quality of life compared to the current standard of care (C-Leg). Methods The study is a randomized AB crossover with a control group. Subjects must have used (and still be using) a C-Leg for a minimum of 1yr prior to enrollment. Inclusion criteria beyond this are unilateral transfemoral or knee disarticulation amputation for any etiology, community level ambulation (Medicare level 3 or above), independent ambulation and ability to independently provide written, informed consent. Once enrolled subjects utilize their same socket but receive a study foot (Trias or Axtion). Subjects are randomly assigned to either stay with their C-Leg or be fit with a Genium knee. Subjects accommodate and test (A phase) then crossover to the other knee condition and repeat the testing (B phase). A follow up phase of the study beyond the B phase is ongoing to study longer term preference. For AB assessment, three domains were assessed: Safety, function and quality of life. For safety, the PEQ-A survey of stumbles and falls, posturography (Biodex SD limits of stability and postural stability tests), 4 square step test and 2 minute ramp stand test were completed. For function, a series of timed walking tests, the amputee mobility predictor, kinematic gait assessment and physical functional performance-10 tests were conducted. For quality of life, the socioemotional and situational satisfaction domains of the population specific and validated PEQ (prosthesis evaluation questionnaire) were completed. Results Safety: Posturographic assessment revealed impairment between transfemoral amputees and non-amputees. Stumbles and semi-controlled falls decreased with Genium but were not significantly different. Four square step testing was significantly (p 0.05) improved from 12.2s(3.3) to 11.1s(3.4) for the C-Leg and Genium respectively. Function: Kinematic asymmetry was minimally different between knee conditions. The AMP mean(SD) scores while subjects used C-Leg was 40.8(3.6; 33-45) and 43.3(2.6) [p<0.001]. PFP scores (cumulative), upper body function and endurance scores were improved with Genium compared with C-Leg at 9.1%(p=0.03), 8.7%(0.01) and 10.3%(0.04) respectively. Quality of Life: For quality of life, situational satisfaction favored Genium (p<0.001) which included subject's satisfaction with gait,…

Syfte: Syftet med det här examenarbete är att undersöka behovet av snabbkopplingsadaptrar för protesbrukare. Bakgrund: Snabbkopplingsadapter är en förhållandevis ny produkt som både Otto Bock och Lindhe Xtend erbjuder, men ingen forskning på behovsområdet finns ännu gjord. Fördelen med produkten är enligt leverantörernas hemsidor bl a att man med den enkelt kan byta mellan olika proteskomponenter utan att behöva skruva på några protesinställningar eller byta hylsa. Metod: För att undersöka behovet av snabbkopplingsadaptrar utfördes semistrukturella intervjuer av fenomenologisk karaktär. En serie med sju frågor sammanställdes som intervjuunderlag, vilka togs fram utifrån de tre behovsfokusområdena: Funktion, delaktighet och livskvalité. I undersökningen ingick n=6 deltagare, varav n=3 transtibialt amputerade och n=3 transfemoralt amputerade. Insamlade data analyserades vidare för framtagning av olika teman och resultat. Resultat: Utifrån intervjuunderlaget togs följande teman fram: Byte av protesfötter/protesknäleder, På- och avtagning av byxor, Hylspassform, Transport samt Biomekanik. Varje tema utgjorde ett eget potentiellt användningsområde, där de största behoven visade sig ligga inom temana Byte av protesfötter/protesknäleder, Hylspassform samt Transport. Slutsats: Behovet av snabbkopplingsadaptrar är högst subjektivt, och beror snarare på deltagarens liv än några allmänna faktorer. Däremot upptäcktes ett antal tänkbara användningsområden för den.

Aim: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the necessity of the quick change adapter for lower limb amputees. Background: Quick Change Adapter is a relatively new product that both Otto Bock and Lindhe Xtend offers, but no research has been done on the area of its necessity yet. According to the supplier´s websites the benefits of the product is that you with it easily can change prosthetic components without affecting the alignments or change socket. Method: To investigate the necessity of the Quick Change Adapter, semi structural interviews of phenomenological characteristic were used. A series of seven questions were compiled as a basis for the interview from the three focus areas: Function, participation and quality of Life. The thesis involved n=6 participants, of who n=3 was trantibial amputated and n=3 transfemoral amputated. Collected data was later analysed to find general themes and results. Results: From the interviews these themes were…

▼ Traumatic injuries to the extremities are commonly observed in emergency room patients and military personnel in combat. Restoring high mobility and functionality is a primary goal post-injury, which may require the use of rehabilitative devices, surgical interventions, and rehabilitation therapies. The research detailed in this dissertation investigates specific elements of these approaches through the use of experimental study and modeling and simulation. In the first study, the influence of passive-dynamic ankle-foot orthosis bending axis on the gait performance of limb salvage subjects was investigated. Bending axis location was altered by fabricating customized orthosis components using additive manufacturing and was tested in a gait laboratory. Altering bending axis location did not result in large or consistent changes in gait measures, however subjects expressed strong preferences for bending axis condition and preference was strongly related to specific gait measures. This suggests that preference and comfort are important factors guiding the prescription of bending axis location. In the second study, musculoskeletal modeling was used to examine the influence of transfemoral amputation surgical techniques on muscle capacity to generate forces and moments about the hip. Muscle reattachment tension and stabilization were shown to be critical parameters for post-amputation capacity, which supports the use of myodesis stabilization (muscle is reattached directly to bone) in amputation procedures. In the third study, a forward dynamics simulation of transfemoral amputee gait was developed and used to examine individual muscle and prosthesis contributions to walking subtasks. The residual hip muscles, and intact ankle, knee, and hip muscles worked synergistically to provide body support, anteroposterior propulsion, mediolateral control, and leg swing. Increased contributions of contralateral muscles to ipsilateral subtasks as well as increased duration of specific muscle contributions were observed in comparison to non-amputee and transtibial amputee walking. These findings can be used to help develop targeted rehabilitation therapies and improve transfemoral amputee locomotion. Through elucidating the influence of PD-AFO bending axis on gait performance as well as the influence of transfemoral amputation surgical techniques on muscle capacity and function, this research provides a foundation for improved rehabilitation outcomes, and thus mobility for individuals who have experienced traumatic lower-limb injuries.

Although sitting is a large part of everyday life is the influence of the sitting positions and chair design on pressure and load distribution as well as comfort for transfemoral amputees quite unexplored. The aim of this study was therefore to examine this further. Two transfemorally amputated females (49 and 57 years old) participated in the study. Three positions were examined for each subject; sitting without foot support and sitting with the knee joints flexed 90◦ and 105◦. The pressure inside the socket was measured by two pressure sensors, placed distally and proximally on the posterior wall inside the socket. The lengthwise pressure distribution and the sidewise load distribution between the socket and the underlying material was measured by a pressure mat. In addition to this, the subjects answered a questionnaire regarding the subjective comfort for each position. The result showed that the pressure underneath the socket were higher distally than proximally without foot support. The pressure transferred proximally as the knee became more flexed. The most even load distribution sidewise was found when the subjects sat with their knees flexed 105 degrees. Sitting with the knees flexed 90◦ was ranked as the most comfortable position. No conclusion could be made regarding the pressure inside of the socket. Additionally, according to this study the level of comfort does not have any clear relation with the sidewise load distribution or the longitudinal pressure distribution.

En stor del av livet spenderas sittandes, men den påverkan som sittposition och stoldesign har på tryckfördelning och komfort för transfemoralt amputerade är ganska outforskat. Studien ämnar därför undersöka detta. Två transfemoralt amputerade kvinnor (49 och 57 år) medverkade i studien. Tre sittpositioner undersöktes för varje testperson; sittande utan fotstöd samt sittande med knäleden i 90◦ respektive 105◦ flexion. Trycket inuti hylsan mättes med hjälp av två trycksensorer, som placerades distalt och proximalt på den bakre hylsväggen. Tryckfördelningen i längsriktningen och lastfördelningen i sidled mellan hylsan och underlaget mättes med en tryckmatta. Förutom detta svarade testpersonerna även på ett frågeformulär angående den subjektiva komforten för varje position. Resultatet visade att trycket under hylsan var högre distalt än proximalt när inget fotstöd användes. Trycket förflyttades proximalt då knät böjdes. Den mest jämna lastfördelningen mellan sidorna påträffades när knät var flekterat 105◦. Enligt frågeformuläret var den mest bekväma positionen den med 90◦ i knäleden. Ingen slutsats kunde göras angående trycket inuit hylsan. Ingen tydlig relation kunde heller inte hittas mellan den subjektiva komforten och tryck- eller lastfördelningen.

▼ Review: Research examining trunk biomechanics in the transfemoral amputee population has only recently begun to include analysis of trunk muscle activity. Based on the absence of knee extensor muscles in the prosthetic limb, the muscles of the hip and trunk will demonstrate compensatory activity. This is an important area of research given that there is an increased incidence of low back pain among transfemoral amputees. Purpose: The overall purpose of this thesis was to explore movement compensations exhibited by unilateral transfemoral amputees throughout a series of activities of daily living, with a focus on trunk biomechanics. Rotational trunk stiffness, and spine and lower limb kinematics were recorded and used to identify areas of difficulty and/or risk of injury and low-back pain. Methods: Twelve total control participants and four amputee participants participated in this study. The tasks recorded included gait, step down, step up, sit-to-stand, and door pull. Lower limb and trunk angles, and trunk and hip muscle electromography were recorded for each participant, and these data were used to model 3-dimensional rotational trunk stiffness about the L4-L5 joint. These data, including individual muscles’ percent contribution to the overall stiffness, were compared between tasks and between subject groups. Results: During the gait task, amputees’ frontal plane stiffness was greater during prosthetic single support phase in the absence of a load-bearing cane. When stepping down, non-cane using amputees displayed a flexed trunk at impact, and only the microprocessor prosthesis displayed knee flexion after contact. The step up task resulted in greater lateral trunk bending and stiffness from the amputee group. The amputee participants also showed more sustained trunk stiffness throughout the sit-to-stand task, with a local peak at seat-off. Conclusions: The altered movement and stiffening patterns of the transfemoral amputees were in an effort to increase trunk stability and mitigate risk of injury. It was concluded that, during some tasks, an increased stiffness is required from amputees to perform the same movement as the control group. The most at-risk tasks are the step down and sit-to-stand tasks, though other tasks also displayed characteristics linked to low-back pain.

▼ Transfemoral amputees suffer the loss of the knee and ankle joints, as well as partial or complete loss of many of the lower extremity muscle groups involved in ambulation. Recent advances in lower limb prostheses have involved the design of active, powered prosthetic knee and ankle-foot components capable of generating knee and ankle torques similar to that of normal gait. The associated onboard motors, conditioning/processing, and battery units of these active components result in increased mass of the respective prosthesis. While not an issue during stance, this increased mass of the prosthesis affects swing. The goal of this study is to develop and validate mathematical models of the transfemoral residual limb and prosthesis, expand these models to include an active ankle-foot, and investigate counter-mass magnitude(s) and location(s) via model optimization that might improve kinematic symmetry during swing. Single- (thigh only, shank only) and multi-segment (combined thigh and shank) optimization of counter-mass magnitudes and locations indicated that a 2.0 kg counter-mass added 8 cm distal and 10 cm posterior to the distal end of knee unit within the shank segment approximated knee kinematics of able-bodied subjects. This location, however, induced artificial hip torques that reduced hip flexion during swing. While such a counter-mass location and magnitude demonstrated theoretical potential, this location is not clinically realistic; mass can only be added within the prosthesis, distal to the residual limb. Clinically realistic counter-masses must also keep the total prosthetic mass to less than 5 kg; greater mass requires supplemental prosthetic suspension, would likely increase energy expenditure during ambulation, and contribute to increased likelihood of fatigue even with active prosthetic components. The ability to simulate the effects of active prosthetic components inclusive of varying placement of battery and signal conditioning units may advance the design of active prostheses that will minimize kinematic asymmetry and result in greater patient acceptance.

Bakgrund: Transfemoralt amputerade har nedsatt balans och ökad fallrisk, men väldigt lite forskning är gjord om detta. Inverted pendulum model (IPM) är en balansmodell för icke-amputerade som bygger på ett känt samband mellan Center of Pressure (CoP) och Center of Mass (CoM). Syftet med denna studie är att kinetiskt validera den inverterade pendelmodellen för transfemoralt amputerade. Metod: I studien deltog amputerade (n=5) och en matchande kontrollgrupp (n=5). Man samlade in data genom att deltagarna fick stå stilla på två stycken kraftplattor under tre styckern villkor; öppna ögon, stängda ögon och weight-bearing feedback. Man undersökte sedan korrelationen mellan avståndet från CoM till CoP och CoMacc i både anterioposterior (A/P) riktning samt medio-lateral (M/L) riktning och analyserade datan med trevägsvariansanalys (ANOVA). Resultat: Resultatet visade att det fanns en signifikant interaktionseffekt mellan villkor och position i M/L-riktning. I A/P-riktning fanns det en signifikant interaktionseffekt mellan grupp och position samt villkor och position. Slutsats: Resultatet innebär att IPM är kinetiskt validerat i A/P-riktning sett till hela kroppen men inte på den amputerade sidan. Hur det intakta benet förhåller sig till IPM för amputerade är tvivelaktigt.

Background: It is known that transfemoral prosthesis users lack normal balance control and are more likely to fall. Research on this topic is insufficient. The Inverted Pendulum Model (IPM) is a commonly used biomechanical model for assessment of balance and postural control for healthy individuals based on an assumption that Center of Pressure (CoP) and Center of Mass (CoM) are inter-dependent. The aim of the study is to validate IPM kinetically for transfemoral prosthesis users. Method: Amputees (n=5) and a control group (n=5) participated. During data collection, participants stood on two force plates with eyes open, eyes closed and with weight-bearing feedback. Correlation of the distance CoP-CoM and CoMacc were calculated for anteroposterior and mediolateral directions and evaluated with three-way ANOVA. Result: Results showed significant interaction effects between condition and position plus group and position in anteroposterior direction and condition and group in mediolateral direction. Conclusion: Results indicate kinetic validity of IPM for transfemoral amputees when looking at the whole body but not at the amputated side in the A/P direction. Kinetic validity of IPM for the intact leg is questionable.

▼ Some unilateral transfemoral amputees (TFAs) run in a prosthesis with an articulating prosthetic knee, others choose to run without a knee (prosthetic socket and foot are linked via a straight, non-articulating pylon) to increase stability. Research regarding unilateral TFA running with an unlocked versus locked prosthetic knee (approximately equivalent to the no-knee condition) with respect to energy cost and temporal metrics is limited; no studies have investigated the impact of knee condition on kinematic metrics. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the prosthetic knee of a running-specific prosthesis (RSP) should be unlocked or locked for unilateral TFAs during recreational treadmill distance running. Five male TFA novice runners, aged 52-59 years, completed one training and one testing session running with the knee of a RSP in the unlocked and locked conditions. The testing session included two three-minute self-selected running speed (SSRS) trials (one trial for each knee condition) as well as six peak speed trials (three trials per knee condition). Temporal, kinematic, and oxygen consumption data were acquired during the SSRS trials. Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were conducted to identify significant differences between knee conditions. Statistically significant differences were observed between knee conditions for running economy (RE); mean RE was lower (suggesting greater efficiency) for the unlocked knee condition. Peak running speed did not differ significantly between knee conditions. Significant differences between knee conditions were also observed for peak hip flexion and abduction of the prosthetic limb during swing; maximum prosthetic limb hip flexion increased and prosthetic limb hip abduction was reduced for the unlocked knee condition. These differences contributed to reduced kinematic asymmetry at the hip for the unlocked knee condition; the unlocked knee condition also resulted in less asymmetry in hip range of motion. These differences in RE and hip kinematics between knee conditions may be attributed to circumduction of the prosthetic limb during swing to provide foot clearance with the locked knee condition. For novice recreational runners, the unlocked knee condition may be advantageous for TFAs during treadmill running, provided the individuals have sufficient endurance and cognitive focus to prevent knee buckling.
