Osseointegration Demo at ACA conference.

See me at the ACA conference for a demonstration of new function for short stump above elbow amputees who normally at my level give up wearing a prosthesis and to disprove the US myth and fear that this treatment fails because of infection- after 4 years it only gets better with no infection what so ever and living proof that this treatment works. I am a 56 y o very short upper dominate arm amputee due to a car wreck 9 years ago, so short that amputees at my level normally give up wearing a…See More

Congratulations Fred Hernandez

Well it's official. Another American joins the ranks of Osseointegration. I had thr ILP implant inserted into my R femur yesterday and i'm feeling great. Woke up at 4 am feeling good and no real pain to speak of. just a little pressure at the end of the stump. Plan on showing it off at the Amputee oalition Conference this June. I know Mark will be attending and hope to see more of us there to help raise awareness in this technology.The FDA has their protocol every medical device has to follow…See More

Why the delay on Osseointegration in the US?

Hi all I am the Most difficult Osseointegration patient in the world but also the most successful.I lost almost my whole dominate right arm in a car wreck in Tasmania Australia in 2003. Shoulder disartics at my level rarely work-99% of arm amps at my level give up. Proths know this but are too frightened to tell amps the truth. OI changed my life for the better and you better believe it does work. Most of the negative comments on this post on OI are based on fear and ignorance or both. I am…See More

Thank you for the warm welcome! I'm happy to be a member. I am a 4th year PhD candidate at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA, USA. My dissertation focuses on cognitive motor control in prosthesis users. My goal is to use basic neuroscience to improve PT/OT protocols and hopefully make it easier for individuals with limb loss to learn their new device.

I was not familiar with you before today, but a quick Google search has taught me a lot! I'm very excited about your successful osseointegration. One of our labs here at GT is working on that same endeavor:

My career goal is to design neurally controlled prosthetic limbs. Together with osseointegration, perhaps we really will be able to install truly bionic limbs!

Sincerely,

At 9:01am on April 29, 2011, Terry Palmer said…: G'day Mark,I must warn you of my lack of expertise with all things computer at the outset,thanx for the contact,I was made aware of the open prosthetics website while trying to get more info on you from seeing you on the ABC television article shown recently,I am willing to consider amputation if I was convinced that a prosthesis could be a useful asset,something that I have not been confident of up to this stage in life,it seems that you are the kind of person that doesn't take things laying down (something I admire).
I have only one amputee friend and he doesn't bother about using a prosthesis and I have never had a discussion with him about his views on the subject ( he has a prosthetic right arm which I have never seen him use in the 30years I have known him.
I have always been of the belief that due to the fact of having no shoulder control,a prosthesis was of no use to me,my paralysis is from the spine(brachial plexus).
That is a rough outline of my injury,Mark,love to hear what you think,I also appreciate your choice of motor bike,which model INDIAN is yours.cheers Terry P

Yes I did.

I am new to the world of prosthetics and thought this site would be an excellent forum to increase my understanding.

I will keep a keen eye on contributions and hope to get up to speed as quickly as possible.
