最近一项对下肢缺失患者的调查显示，患者对泡沫美容的满意度低于预期。该项目的目的是通过以用户为中心的设计方法来改善逼真的外观，功能和耐用性。概念开发和原型设计导致了一种新的美观设计，其特征在于位于膝关节处的切口，插入由更硬泡沫制成的人工髌骨。它还具有全长拉链，便于维护。然后对新的外观进行了超过100万次循环的机械测试，并由6名经股动脉假体使用者在18个患者月内进行了临床测试。新的设计比目前的标准型号更耐用，并具有增强的逼真外观。它有可能改善用户的身体形象，降低医疗保健提供者的成本。这项研究有助于实践，提供了一种新的美容设计，增强了外观和耐用性，有可能改善患者的身体形象，降低成本与美容装修和维护。
A recent survey of people with lower limb absence revealed that patients’ satisfaction with their foam cosmesis is lower than desired. The aim of this project was to improve the lifelike appearance, functionality and durability of the cosmesis through a user-centred design methodology. Concept development and prototyping led to a new cosmesis design which features a cut-out located at the knee, inserted with an artificial patella made of a more rigid foam. It also features a full-length zip which provides easy access for maintenance. The new cosmesis was then mechanically tested for over 1 million cycles and clinically tested by six transfemoral prosthesis users over 18 patient months. The new design is significantly more durable than the current standard model and has an enhanced lifelike appearance. It has potential to improve users’ body image and reduce costs for healthcare providers. This study contributes to practice by offering a new cosmesis design with enhanced appearance and durability, with the potential to improve patients’ body image and reduce costs associated with cosmesis fitting and maintenance.
