The method of attachment of a prosthesis to the residual limb (suspension system) is a critical issue in the process of providing prosthesis to an amputee. Proper fit of the stump inside the socket and appropriate selection of prosthetic suspension positively affect the amputees’ gait, distribution of pressure within the socket, and amputees’ satisfaction. This research aimed to: (1) conduct a survey to compare the effects of seal-in liner and common suction socket (CSS) on transfemoral amputees’ satisfaction; (2) compare the effects of the Seal-In liner (suction) and Dermo liner (Pin/lock) on transtibial amputees’ gait performance; and (3) design and …

The Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013 – 2025 stipulates that high performing school leaders are now more accountable for increasing or maintaining their school achievement outcomes. The intention of this study is to examine the leadership practices of principals’ in Malaysian high performing daily secondary schools in particular, the relationship between principal leadership practices and teacher collegiality. A mixed-methods research design was chosen for this study. Empirical data was gathered via a survey encompassing a sample of 290 school teachers followed by intensive data collection in 6 Malaysian high performing daily secondary schools. The data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, focus …

Momentum, gravity, and other ambulation forces tend to displace lower limb prosthesis on residual limb. Thus, suspension systems have considerable effects on the amputee’s mobility, comfort, and satisfaction with prosthesis. Negative effects of poor suspension on rehabilitation, as well as the comfort and activity level of lower limb amputees, were previously stated. This research aimed to develop a prosthetic suspension system and to explore the biomechanics of prosthesis that incorporates the new system for transtibial amputees. A prosthetic suspension system was designed and fabricated based on magnetic field. Factors that were influenced by the prosthetic suspension were derived through an …

Sepak takraw is a traditional game played at the international level in Asia. The game is played using various parts of the body, except the hands. Most notably, the head is often used. Unlike soccer, no studies have yet been conducted on injuries caused by contact between the ball and the head for this sport. This research was initiated following the incidents of 24th SEA Games in Korat, Thailand, 2007, in which the Malaysian Sepak Takraw Association (PSM) had pulled out of the championship. The withdrawal was due to complains of headaches from the players believed to be caused by …
