DOI: 10.1002/jcu.23051
Abstract: Residual limb pain is common after amputation. Painful osteophytes are one of many causes of residual limb pain, and cases that fail conservative management may require open surgical resection. Here we present a novel percutaneous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10237-019-01258-7
Abstract: In post-amputation rehabilitation, a common goal is to return to ambulation using a prosthetic limb, suspended by a customised socket. Prosthetic socket design aims to optimise load transfer between the residual limb and mechanical limb,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2021.110573
Abstract: Individuals with transtibial amputation (TTA) walk with greater muscle activity and metabolic costs than non-amputees. Powered prostheses aim to address these deficits by replicating the active function of the biological ankle. The purpose of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0087900
Abstract: Residual limb volume fluctuation and the resulting contact pressures are some of the key factors leading to skin ulcerations, suboptimal prosthetic functioning, pain, and diminishing quality of life of transtibial amputees. Self-management of socket fit… read more here.

Reliability and Validity of Measurement Tools for Residual Limb Volume in People With Limb Amputations: A Systematic Review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Physical Therapy"
DOI: 10.1093/ptj/pzz010
Abstract: BACKGROUND Measurements of residual limb volume often guide decisions on the type and timing of prosthetic prescription. To help inform these decisions, it is important that clinicians use measurement tools that are reliable and valid.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000001725
Abstract: BACKGROUND After major lower limb amputation, persistent pain is common, with up to 85% of patients reporting recurring phantom or residual-limb pain. Although pain management is an important factor of quality of life in patients… read more here.

Hyperhidrosis of the residual limb: a narrative review of the measurement and treatment of excess perspiration affecting individuals with amputation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Prosthetics and Orthotics International"
DOI: 10.1097/pxr.0000000000000040
Abstract: Background: Hyperhidrosis (HH) is a relatively common disorder involving excessive sweating, typically of the palms or axilla. HH can also frequently occur after limb amputation, where the remaining residual limb excessively perspires, leading to an… read more here.
