A Prospective Assessment of an Adjustable, Immediate Fit, Transtibial Prosthesis

4/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
  • A group of 22 volunteers with transtibial limb loss rated the iFIT socket as significantly better in terms of comfort, stability and fit versus their conventional prosthesis (iFIT average rating was 29.3±4.51 out of 35 possible points versus 25.2±6.8 for conventional socket).
  • No falls or limb ischemia were reported or noted during follow up.
  • Gait biomechanics revealed no differences across any temporal characteristics.
  • Intrasocket peak pressures were significantly lower for the iFIT prostheses overall (P = .0014), at the anterior tibia (P = .0002), and the lateral side of the residual limb (P = .013).
This study provided preliminary evidence to support the feasibility of the iFIT system as it compared favorably to participants' conventional prostheses across all outcome measures.

The Role of Earlier Receipt of a Lower Limb Prosthesis on Health Care Costs and Emergency Department Utilization

2/10/2021

0 Comments

 
A study recently published by Miller et al. found that receiving a prosthesis within the first three months post amputation was highly beneficial in the following:

  • Individuals who receive a prosthesis within 0 to 3 months after amputation were 48% less likely to use the Emergency Department (ED) compared to those who did not receive a prosthesis.
  • Individuals who experienced a fall/FRI had 2.8 times the odds
    of ED utilization.
  • The current study underscores the value of prostheses
    during the rehabilitation process after LLA.

The iFIT system can help get patients fit faster. iFIT’s stability, strength and durability allows for immediate and early ambulation.

Two options to get persons with limb loss back on their feet

During these challenging times patients should not have to wait longer for a prosthesis.  Fit with minimal visits, and fully adjustable by the patient the iFIT prosthesis is perfect post amputation.  During the first year, drastic reductions in volume occur as the limb matures. The iFIT system helps shrink the limb down and maintain a secure fit.

​Persons with limb loss are already under stress and anxiety. We have an option
that can help them. A person can be fit in just under 2 hours with the iFIT system
which also minimizes exposure to you and your staff.
Respecting all CDC and local infection control measures, and using the appropriate PPE
(Personal Protection Equipment), you can help those who need a prosthesis now.
Let’s move together — a new way of practicing care.

For people that feel like they are missing out on water activities, iFIT has a solution.  You can wear the iFIT prosthetic in the ocean, lakes, pools etc. Just rinse with fresh water once finished, and use with appropriate water foot.
For heavy water use we suggest having an iFIT dedicated just for the water.

iFIT can accelerate the fitting process with less patient and prosthetist encounters―important for social distancing and fighting COVID-19. Traditional fitting methods
can take 3 or more visits. A person can be fit in just under 2 hours with the iFIT system.
They leave with a comfortable and highly functional device and minimize
exposure to you and your staff.
