Table 7 Studies on DTI in transtibial prosthetic users using acoustic emission and sensory tests
From: Exploring the role of transtibial prosthetic use in deep tissue injury development: a scoping review
Author and year | Type of study | Parameter of interest | Methodology | Input | Outcome measures |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Buis et al. 2018 [35] | Ex vivo animal study | Acoustic signalling | - Tensile test setup - Immersion of bovine and galline specimen in saline solution - Recording of acoustic signals during tensile test of specimen with hydrophone | Tensile load and displacement (Instron) | Acoustic emission: amplitude and frequency (No correlation found btw. Acoustic emission and deformation) |
Kosasih et al. 1998 [28] | Experimental Study | Sensory analysis | - Qualitative sensory assessment of the residuum in 16 TTAa s - Test sides: pressure tolerant and pressure sensitive areas of residuum - Contralateral limb as control | Physical administration of cotton swab wisp, firm pressure, tuning fork vibration, safety pin prick by physician | Qualitative feedback about sensory response either at detection of stimulus or with description (i.e. sharp or dull pain) |
