Socket technologies | A holistic view

A good socket as a prerequisite for mobility. Non-amputees move best with the right footwear. Amputees move best with the right socket. This training provides an entertaining bird's eye view of central topics in the field of socket technologies, illustrates what makes a good socket and sensitizes to the needs of amputees.

Therapy for Transradial Body-Powered Users

This video-tutorial supports CPOs and occupational therapists regarding the therapay and rehabilitation of users with above-elbow Body-Powered arm prostheses. They are guided through the therapy and training sessions step by step: From the assessment to the the therapy and rehabilitation part and finally ending with the quality check. Refers to steps 2, 6 and 7 of the treatment cycle of the Ottobock Body-Powered Education Concept.

Socket Technology Fundamentals

In this course, "Socket Technologies" is defined, and connected with the fundamentals of socket design, liner differentiation, suspension systems and more. After finishing, you will be able to answer the following questions: - What is the purpose of socket technologies? - Why do we need a liner and which should I choose for my patients? - What are the different suspension systems and socket types?

Kenevo

Activity Mode C

Mode C is appropriate for users who have moderate control over their residual limb, can handle a variety of everyday situations and can walk short to medium distances outdoors. The stance phase is not locked but exhibits a high level of damping. The swing phase can be released earlier, which promotes more dynamic movements. The stance phase flexion damping has to be customized in advance.

Wheelchair function

The wheelchair function can be switched on or off as needed with the K-Soft adjustment software. When sitting, the user can lock the Kenevo between 45° flexion and a nearly extended leg. This is especially helpful when sitting in a wheelchair if more room is needed between the prosthesis and the ground.

Prosthetic gait training Walking on level ground (1)

The exercises are suitable for C-Leg 4, Genium, Genium X3 and Kenevo (Mode C). The knee joint bends slightly during initial contact and loading response when observing physiological gait. This movement serves as a shock absorber, relieves the musculoskeletal system and provides safety through a faster foot flat position.

MyoBock - Evaluation of the myosignals tutorial

As part of a myoelectric, prosthetic fitting of the hand or arm the evaluation of the myosignals must be completed prior to definitive prosthesis manufacture and fitting. Preliminary evaluation will help determine the ideal electrode position and gain, as well as the most appropriate switching mode. A careful, accurate evaluation of the myo-signal and the corresponding adjustment is essential. This will affect the definitive fitting and final result. Once both myosignals have been evaluated, and the switching method is defined, check and train the settings with the myosimulation in PAULA software. This ensures that the user can control the prosthesis independently and reliably in everyday life with the selected adjustments. By completing the evaluation you have laid the foundations for successful prosthesis fitting and use. Myoelectric is the technical term for the electrical voltage generated in muscle cells in the microvolt range, which can be measured on the skin surface and used via electrodes to control prostheses. Myoelectric prostheses are powered by a battery and set in motion by the contraction of a muscle.
