Reliability and validity of the Finnish version of the prosthesis evaluation questionnaire

2018

Background: Thus far there have been no specific patient-reported outcome instrument in Finnish for health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment after major lower extremity amputation and successful prosthesis fitting. Methods: The prosthesis evaluation questionnaire (PEQ) was translated and cross-culturally adapted into Finnish. Participants completed a questionnaire package including the Finnish version of the PEQ and the 15 D HRQoL instrument. Scales (n = 10) were tested for internal consistency, floor-ceiling effect, and reproducibility for which participants completed the PEQ twice within a 2-week interval. Validity was tested by estimating the correlation between the 15 D index a…

Biomechanical analysis of transfemoral amputee's sprint running and block start

2012

Ojala, Paula Emilia, 2012. Biomechanical analysis of transfemoral amputee’s sprint running and block start. Department of Biology of Physical Activity, University of Jyväskylä, Master’s Thesis in Biomechanics. 87 p. Although a large number of studies about human locomotion have been reported, little is known about how to run with a prosthesis limb. The purpose of the study was to examine the difference between the healthy and prosthesis leg and between different prostheses during the sprint start and maximal running speed. One top level male sprint runner (100 m personal best 13.11 s) with the unilateral transfemoral prosthesis participated in this study. Two specific sprint prostheses (A: …

Nanotieteen ja -teknologian hyödyntäminen ääreishermostollisessa ylemmän raajan neuroprostetiikassa

2017

Tämä kirjallisuuskatsaus pyrkii luomaan realistisen kuvan tämän hetkisestä neuroprostetiikan alasta ja sen tulevaisuudesta, perehtymään alan ongelmiin, luomaan yhteyden nanoteknologian ja neuroprostetiikan välille ja miettimään miten ja mitä neuroprostetiikan ongelmia voitaisiin ratkaista nanoteknologialla. Suurin ongelma intuitiivisen hallinnan ja sitä kautta luonnollisen tuntuisen keinotekoisen käden saavuttamiseksi on ihmisen ja proteesin välisen yhteyden rajapinta. Nykyiset elektrodit, joilla yhteys muodostetaan ovat hermoston rakenteeseen suhteutettuna suuria ja todellisuudessa epäspesifejä. Nanoteknologian avulla käytettävien elektrodien kokoa voitaisiin pienentää,…
