Optimization of Prosthetic design by calculating of
lost part of the body in persons with unilateral transtibial
amputation. |
There is a great debate on exact calculation of weight of the
prosthesis as it is difficult to calculate the weight of the existed
part of the person with amputation. In this study, an instrument
was designed to calculate the weight of the lost part of the body
and stump on which prosthesis will be made. |

Design and Development of Paediatric prosthesis
The major constraint in frequent change of prosthetic device
in developing country is lack of sufficient number of prosthetic
fitment center,skilled prosthetist, paediatric prosthetic kit
and low income group of amputee. To face this challenge a
low cost paediatric prosthetic kit with a concept of height
adjustibility and reusability was designed. |

Modular Paediatric Below-Knee Prosthesis
During the period of limb growth in children it is required
to change the prosthesis very frequently. Despite the
adjustmentin the socket part for two years, heights of
the shaft of prosthesis needs to be changed. Keeping
this problem in mind a technique of height adjustment
with a single bolt has been designed and developed. |

Orthotic Management of CTEV:
The various deformities of foot like Equinus, Varus,
Rotaiton, Adductus, Supination and Cavus are treated
by several three point pressure systems. Three point
pressure systems like, Denis Brown Splint, dynamic
NOA Spilnt, pediatric AFO, Wheaton Brace, articulated
turnbuckle splint were made in this institute. |

| Proposal for the Weight Calculation of amputed Part
in Amputees |
Muscles produce force that acts through the bony lever system to
resist gravity or to create movement. Mechanical forces can
provide a major effect on growth of the body and energy
consumption. Tissue responds to forces according to the type of
loading ,duration of loading and direction of loading. In case of
artificial limb the weight of the prosthesis has a relation to growth
of the stump and shape also.The weight of the amputed part has a
relation with the weight of the prosthesis. In this project, a system
to calculate the weight of the amputed part in recent conditionss
of patient health and structure in a simplified manner has been
designed. |
