“…An irritation refers to an area of erythema over a pressuresensitive area that persists for at least 10 minutes after removal of the prosthetic device. 10,11 Further analysis of these problems was performed. Table 1 provides information about the subjects for all skin problems and for the five most common skin problems.…”

Clinical Applications of 3D Printing

et al. 2018

Three-dimensional (3D) printing refers to a number of manufacturing technologies that create physical models from digital information. Radiology is poised to advance the application of 3D printing in health care because our specialty has an established history of acquiring and managing the digital information needed to create such models. The 3D Printing Task Force of the Radiology Research Alliance presents a review of the clinical applications of this burgeoning technology, with a focus on the opportunities for radiology. Topics include uses for treatment planning, medical education, and procedural simulation, as well as patient education. Challenges for creating custom implantable devices including financial and regulatory processes for clinical application are reviewed. Precedent procedures that may translate to this new technology are discussed. The task force identifies research opportunities needed to document the value of 3D printing as it relates to patient care.

“…Rehabilitation is a key strategy for this population, [14][15][16][17][18] and its main objective is to regain the highest possible level of function. [16,17] Through a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, [15,18] the rehabilitation process includes several stages of varying duration: preoperative phase; pre-prosthetic stage; and, if possible, prosthetic training.…”

A short and pre-prosthetic ADL intervention improves functional independence and reduces the need for home adaptation. ADL programs should be included in rehabilitation strategies. Implications for Rehabilitation Because basic activities of daily living (ADL) can be seriously compromised after a lower-limb amputation, it is important for this population to improve or maintain their level of independence. A short and pre-prosthetic ADL intervention is an effective method for an early recovery of functional independence in self-care activities and promotes home adaptation. Age is an important determinant of functional recovery, and most subjects can achieve independence in basic ADL regardless of the level of amputation. A pre-prosthetic ADL program should be included in rehabilitation strategies for adults with lower-limb amputation.
