Our objective, to develop an accurate method for assessing Body Composition, Fluid Balance and malnutrition status in both normal and clinical amputee population
Assessment of bilateral, transhumoral, transfemora, transradial and transtibial amputees
The perfect system when measuring outcomes is becoming increasingly vital.
Particularly in the case of amputees, since much of the rehabilitation process is concerned with improving mobility and personal independence.

Assessment of Body composition becomes complicated in people who are without limbs usually due to amputation or congenital defects. Body weight assessment is useful in clinical setting. However, Body Composition assessment based on body weight alone is incorrect for persons with amputation.
BioScan touch i8 provides a simple method for estimating body composition in people with amputation due to trauma, degenerative disease or cancer. It is the most advanced, automated amputee segment model for the assessment of Male or Female clinical patients, including healthy population.
Clinical Conditions
Clinicians require good understanding of a patient, especial those with bilateral, transhumoral, transfemora, transradial and transtibial amputees. Correct assessment of amputee is vital and should be undertaken at the start of any treatment in order to guide the course of treatment.
Ideally in preoperative clinical patients, Pre and Post assessment should be undertaken in order to monitor changes. For better patient outcome a good knowledge and understanding of results are essential.
