Outcome Studies For Adjustable Devices
-
RevoFit was able to deliver the needed adjustability range that allowed users to accomplish their preferred socket size range.
-
This report studies whether adding adjustability to a socket can improve fit, reduce skin breakdown, and improve gait stability. The participants in the study experienced an increased rotational range of motion ROM) as compared to their non-adjustable sockets which compensated for the lack of hip, knee and ankle power on the prosthetic side.
-
This report concludes that adding RevoFit adjustable panels and RevoLock suspension to a socket allows transtibial prosthesis users to stabilize their residual limb fluid volume and improve overall socket fit, while safely maintaining suspension of the socket.
-
This study suggests that existing prosthetic technologies’ adjustable sockets and locking pin tethers can be used in novel ways to help maintain residual limb fluid volume in active prosthesis users.
-
This report illustrates how amputees are using socks to manage their prosthesis fit are not achieving significant health and mobility outcomes.
-
This study provides evidence that the ability to adjust a socket (enlargement) during use allows for a reduction of limb fluid volume loss.
-
This case study demonstrates the need for a well-designed clinical trial using outcome measures comparing the efficacy of an adjustable prosthetic socket interface to the standard of care.
-
The purpose was to show clinical adjustable socket designs we have found successful. An enhanced 3-point pressure system was created to increase control of the limb in the socket during ambulation. Volume fluctuation was allowed to happen and be controlled without taking the prosthesis off.
