    A novel shoulder prosthesis fabrication technique effectively rehabilitates patients after intrascapulothoracic amputation. This method restores function and significantly improves psychological well-being for patients and their families.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Prosthetics and Orthotics
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Intrascapulothoracic amputation presents significant functional and psychological challenges.
    • Existing prosthetic solutions may not fully address the complexities of shoulder defects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an effective technique for fabricating a shoulder prosthesis.
    • To evaluate the rehabilitative and psychologic benefits of the described prosthesis.

    Main Methods:

    • A specific impression and processing technique was employed for prosthesis fabrication.
    • The technique was applied to create a shoulder prosthesis for a patient with intrascapulothoracic amputation.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The fabricated shoulder prosthesis proved effective in patient rehabilitation.
  • Patients could wear clothing without modification, restoring a sense of normalcy.
  • Significant psychologic benefits were observed for patients and their families.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described impression and processing procedures are effective for shoulder prosthesis fabrication.
    • The principles of this technique are applicable to creating other large somatoprostheses.
