Assessment of a Microprocessor Ankle for Low Mobility Individuals with Amputation: Phase I

This study is being done to conduct a preliminary investigation into a new prosthetic microprocessor controlled ankle, called the Damping, Stiffness, and Repositioning (DSR) ankle. Participants will visit the Shirley Ryan 嫩B研究院 10-16 times over 9 weeks, each visit lasting approximately 3 hours, to perform a series of walking and mobility tests with both their own prosthetic ankle and the DSR ankle.

Conceptual framework for considering the status of lower motor neuron degeneration affecting key arm muscles that may be re-animated after spinal cord injury via nerve transfer surgery. In scenario C, which affects 30-40% of patients we screen, nerve transfer surgery should be avoided outside of the first 6 months post-injury due to detrimental impact of chronic muscle denervation on recipient muscle targets. However, reconstruction by tendon transfer may be considered.

Reconstructive Surgery for People with Spinal Cord Injury

The Journal of Neurophysiology recently published a review by Adenike Adewuyi, MD PhD — a 2022 graduate of Shirley Ryan 嫩B研究院’s physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) residency program — and her mentor, Colin Franz, MD, PhD, physician-scientist, at Shirley Ryan 嫩B研究院. The review defines a clinical framework for evaluating patients with spinal cord injuries to determine their candidacy for nerve transfer surgery.
