■■ "How to Work" Medical Devices - Support for the Expansion of the Scope of Work of Prosthetists and Orthotists by Proposing New Rehabilitation~　

Keeogo

This is a walking aid device worn on the lower limb to support knee movements. The sensors detect changes in the position and angle of the hip and knee joints. AI recognizes the user's movements and supports safe operation by selecting the appropriate assistance for the movement.

Gait Judge System G2

The Gait Solution series measures the plantar flexion braking force and joint angles that occur while the user walks with a special attachment attached to the double clenzak foot joint. This is a walking aid device worn on the lower limb to support knee movements. The sensors detects changes in the position and angle of the hip and knee joints. AI recognizes the user's movements and supports safe operation by selecting the appropriate assistance for the movement.

Manufacturers' Workshop

"Immediately Fit Socket Technology - Connect TF"

Date and Time：　Saturday, July 13, 2024, 10:40 a.m. - 11:25 a.m.
Presenter ①　 Kawamura Gishi Co., Ltd.　Yuri Ubukata (CPO)
Presenter ② Kawamura Gishi Co., Ltd.　Maya Okuno (CPO)

The Connect TF is an adjustable, off-the-shelf socket offered by Ossur for low activity transfemoral amputees. The socket height, circumference, and angle can be adjusted to suit the shape of the residual limb, and it can be attached immediately. New amputees with abrupt changes in residual limb volume may require more time to evaluate prosthetic fit, but the adjustable Connect TF is effective for a smooth transition to prosthetic rehabilitation. In addition, applying their body weights on their residual limb from an early stage helps to improve amputation formation and load sensation. In this workshop, we will introduce the features of the product and examples of its use in clinical settings (advantages and problems, etc.), as well as demonstrate fitting and adjustment. We look forward to seeing you there.
