Post-operative rehabilitation after PIP joint arthroplasty with early active motion: A retrospective review of outcomes
No full textWe present a retrospectively review of outcomes of the first fifteen patients who underwent proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint arthroplasty and were treated using the same early active motion rehabilitation regime introduced by the therapy department at Mount Vernon Hospital. The regime utilises early motion of the PIP joint while protecting the arthroplasty with a small static splint and digit strapping to reduce lateral forces on the joint.
The notes of fifteen patients were reviewed and their outcomes presented. To evaluate the outcomes in more detail the patients were divided into three groups according to their diagnostic reason for the procedure (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and trauma). The overall mean arc of motion at the PIP joint on discharge from therapy was 54 improved from 28 pre operatively.
The patients with the osteoarthritic PIP joints gained the largest improvement in the PIP joint arc of motion and required the least rehabilitation intervention. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis required intense rehabilitation to gain less overall PIP joint motion but still reported satisfaction with their outcome. All 15 patients experienced an improvement in their pain level and subjectively reported increased function in their affected hand.
Following this retrospective review of cases the team continue to use this regime for metal and silastic prosthesis but now routinely provide additional written information pre operatively to assist patients’ understanding of the procedure and the extent of the rehabilitation required
Bestuurbaarheid van Systemen aan de hand van hun Gewogen Graafrepresentatie: Controllability of Systems based on their Weighted Graph Representation
No full textDit onderzoek beschouwt bestuurbaarheid van complexere systemen weergegeven door gewogen grafen. Deze grafen hebben samenhang met de afzonderlijke transferfuncties binnen het gehele systeem. Aan de hand van bekende methoden binnen ongewogen grafen en een ontworpen pijlsplitstechniek, zullen uiteindelijk criteria voor de bestuurbaarheid binnen gewogen grafen worden achterhaald.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer ScienceDelft Institute of Applied Mathematic
Development of an Atomic Force Microscope
No full textThis abstract presents the development of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) vertical scanner for surface topography measurements, which is composed of a single axis positioning stage with an integrated metrology system and AFM probe. The scanner is meant to track and measure a maximum topography step of 10 ?m with a measurement resolution of less then 0.1 nm and an uncertainty of less than 10 nm (1←) at a controllable bandwidth of at least 2 kHz.Precision and Microsystems EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
Improving the functionality of a prosthetic hand through the use of thick film force sensors
No full textA prosthetic hand has been instrumented with a range of sensors to measure grip force with the primary objectives of detecting touch and the onset of slippage of an item grasped by the hand. Two types of sensor have been used for this purpose: piezoresistive sensors to measure and monitor static forces and piezoelectric sensors to measure and monitor dynamic forces. All sensors have been fabricated using thick film printing techniques and their location and placement upon the prosthetic hand has been chosen for optimal performance
