Using a retrospective review of records, we will conduct a multivariate analysis to examine the relationship between exposure to ketamine, as an analgesic agent in combat related trauma care, the use of additional opioid pain medications, and patient reported pain levels.

Objectives: The main objectives are to determine neural dynamics during gait using electro-encephalography as well as brain sources and to investigate the attentional demand during walking in able-bodied individuals, and individuals with an amputation. Materials & Methods: 6 able-bodied individuals conducted one experimental trial, and 6 unilateral transtibial and 6 unilateral transfemoral amputees performed 2 experimental trials; the first with the current and the second with a novel powered transtibial prosthesis, i.e. the Ankle Mimicking Prosthetic foot 4.0. Each experimental trial comprised 2 walking tasks; 6 and 2min treadmill walking at normal speed interspersed by 5min of rest. During 6min walking the sustained attention to response (go-no go) task, with measures reaction time and accuracy, was performed. Electro-encephalographic (EEG) data were gathered when subjects walked 2min. Motor-related cortical potentials and brain activity during gait are extracted using EEG.

The Injury and Its Consequences in the Sports Lower Limb Amputee

Leg Lower AmputationTraumatic Amputation

This study was motivated by the lack of data in the literature on the injury of the major lower limb amputee playing sports and its socio-professional impact. It aims to study sports-related injuries in lower limb amputees. Its objective is to determine the prevalence, but also to describe the injuries (type, location, duration, type of management) and their repercussions in terms of after-effects, and repercussions on sports, professional and personal practice. It also aims to begin a correlation between injury and sports load, type of sport (discipline, practice modality), technical aids used

Sensor Glove and Non-Invasive Vibrotactile Feedback Insole to Improve Hand Prostheses Functions...

Amputation; TraumaticHand

State-of-the-art myoelectric prostheses provide upper limb amputees with a remarkable variety of grip patterns but lack proper feedback from touch sensation. This restriction limits the controllability of multi-articulated robotic hands, resulting in the rejection of the device in many cases. Amputees have often reminiscing sensations in the stump, i.e. by touching certain regions, it feels as if no longer existing fingers were touched. These regions form a phantom map and show promising results for touch feedback. However, not every amputee has one and the socket of a prosthesis offers limited space for additional devices. Thus, the investigators developed a feedback display which is worn in the shoe instead of the prosthesis itself. The investigators want to assess the viability of vibrotactile feedback stimulus on the foot as a substitution for pressure on the fingers of an artificial hand in a clinical study. The efforts are based on the hypothesis that a hand prosthesis with tactile feedback has better performance in manipulating fragile and heavy objects, compared with a standard commercial hand prosthesis without tactile feedback.

Prosthetic Fit Assessment in Transtibial Amputees Secondary to Trauma

Traumatic Amputation of Lower Extremity

The aims of this study address an exploratory endpoint in the Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium (METRC) Transtibial Amputation Outcomes Study (TAOS; NCT01821976) that is investigating prosthesis fit, alignment and condition of the residual limb. As there are no validated measures of fit and alignment (factors known to impact comfort, function and performance among amputees) the TAOS study includes a provision in the protocol for acquisition of photographs, video and radiographs in order to help develop uniform assessments of the residual limb. The goal of the ProFit study is to validate and refine the prosthetic assessment tool (ProFit) that was developed by an expert panel of certified orthotist prosthetistis (CPOs) in collaboration with orthopaedic trauma investigators, a measurement scientist and a biomedical engineer from the BADER consortium.

No Power Bionic Lower Extremity Prosthesis

Typically people need separate prosthetic feet for running and walking. To bridge the gap, this study will test the Compliant Adaptive Energy Storage and Return (CAESAR) foot. This foot can change from a walk mode to a run mode with the push of a button. The investigators will test and improve this foot design mechanically, and then test this design on individuals with lower limb amputation in a lab setting. The goal of this project is to develop a passive prosthetic foot that can serve two purposes in someone's daily life: walking and running, to allow them to be more active.

The Assessment of Talar Cartilage in Patients With Unilateral Traumatic Transtibial Amputation

Traumatic Amputation of Lower ExtremityCartilage Degeneration

Increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA) has been previously demonstrated in patients with lower limb amputation. Although there are many studies on knee joint of intact limb of amputees in the literature, the number of studies on intact foot and ankle is extremely limited. The primary aim of the study is to compare the intact talar cartilage, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscle thickness measurements of traumatic unilateral transtibial amputee patients with that of healthy individuals using ultrasound. The secondary aim is to investigate the relationship between cartilage and muscle thickness measurements with clinical parameters.

Validation of User Needs of the Point Digit With Partial Hand Amputees

Amputation; TraumaticHand

The objective of the device feasibility study will be to validate the user needs of the Point Digit system. This study will be a single group intervention model where one group of 5 partial hand amputees will be asked to perform several tasks. Successful completion of a task results in a fulfilled user need. Failure to complete a task results in an unfulfilled user need.
