This often equates to which supplier can offer the cheapest deal. The impact of changing prosthesis, and it’s resultant inevitable surgical learning curve, on initial patient outcomes and complication rates is not known. Objectives: During 2013, our centre changed its total knee replacement system from the Depuy PFC to the Zimmer NexGen system.

    Abstract: The active ageing paradigm aims to contribute to the expectation of a long, autonomous, independent and healthy life. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) promotes the development of technological solutions that might have a key role not only to optimize the support services for older adults but also for the mitigation of their disabilities. This paper presents a systematic literature review of the impact of AAL technologies, products and services in terms of health-related outcomes. Its main objective is to contribute for the understanding of how state-of-art AAL solutions might influence health conditions and quality of life of older adults. The method used to conduct this systematic literature review followed the PRISMA guidelines.

    Environmental material such as sand, dust, and dirt can exacerbate skin in contact with the prosthetic and impeded the functionality of the individual. Specifically, for people with lower extremity amputations, some physical demanding jobs that require repeated climbing, pushing, and walking should be evaluated and altered as necessary. Consideration for the increased energy required to manipulate a prosthetic device may also be considered as part of the physical demands of the vocation. One final vocational consideration, that is also psychosocial, is that individuals with upper extremity amputations may have a greater need to consider the cosmetics of the prosthetic. Nevertheless, the specific tasks required of the job (e.g., heavy lifting) must also be considered (Falvo & Holland,
