    The narrative review on the use of single-axis foot in the transtibial prosthesis
    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2022) Kwannate Permpool; Sasaki, Kazuhiko; Guerra, Gary
    There are many prosthetic foot designs available, as a result, the selection of a prosthetic foot is crucial as various types of prosthetic feet serve different purposes. Even though the prosthetic foot is vital for optimal TTP function..., the increased function and quality of life it provides comes at a cost. The prosthetic foot provided by government support in Thailand is limited to the Solid Ankle Cushion Heel (SACH) and a Single-axis foot (SA). The ideal prescription for the amputee’s

    The effect of various partial foot prosthesis on biomechanics in partial foot amputee
    (Mahidol University, 2021) Tin, Cho Aye, 1985-; Guerra, Gary; Manuchaya Samala
    The world of partial foot prostheses is growing more and more, primarily driven by amputee demand. There is a need to know the common benefits and quality information on the biomechanical effects of different types of prostheses for partial foot... with partial foot amputation regarding prosthesis outcome measurement in the Time Up and Go test, temporal-spatial parameters, kinetics, and kinematics. Moreover, to compare the function and comfort of a Chopart amputee to evaluate gait when wearing a standard

    Evaluation of balance, gait disturbance, and energy consumption in diabetic foot ulcer patients using removable knee high, ankle high, and therapeutic footwear offloading devices
    (Mahidol University, 2022) Myit Zu Kyaw, 1996 -; Gulapar Srisawasdi; Gary, Guerra
    Removable knee high or ankle high offloading device used to assist diabetic foot ulcer healing and therapeutic footwear helps to reduce recurrent ulcers in persons with diabetes. The measurement of energy consumption is particularlyessential... in the research of the link between physical activity and health since it canhelp promote a healthy lifestyle and prolong life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of gait, balance and energy consumption of diabetes foot ulcer patients walking

    Effects of a rigid ankle-foot orthosis with lateral flare and shoe modification with lateral heel flare for stroke patients : a pilot study
    (Mahidol University, 2021) Khin, Zar Lynn, 1981-; Manunchaya Samala; Guerra, Gary
    Stability plays a crucial role in performing daily activities. There is an abundance of evidence suggesting that injuries due to falling are related to loss of stability after stroke. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a rigid ankle-foot... orthosis with lateral flare and lateral shoe modification with a rigid ankle-foot orthosis on stability, fall risk in hemiparetic stroke patients, and patient satisfaction. Seven stroke patients participated, and static and dynamic stability under three

    Design and mechanical testing of Afo to control foot drop among patients with peroneal nerve injury
    (Mahidol University, 2021) May, Su Khaing, 1985-; Guerra, Gary; Manunchaya Samala; Attaporn Wisessint
    Ankle- Foot Orthotics (AFO) is an assistive device to support and correct the abnormal gait pattern due to peroneal nerve injury. The stiffness of the AFO posterior leaf spring (PLS) area is the key factor that influenced the patient's gait-related... to determine the stiffness value for the particular patient than the flexible AFO except for the fatigue strength. As a preliminary study, this study is fundamental for future studies. IMPLICATION OF THE THESIS: This study will benefit patients with drop foot
