Informationen von Mitgliedern für Mitglieder

Neue Publikation von Müller-Putz und Kolleg:innen:

Wiederherstellung von echter Sensation und Propriozeption einzelner Finger nach transradialer Amputation mit gezielter sensorischer Reinnervation als mechanoneurale Schnittstelle

In diesem Artikel beschreiben wir eine neuartige chirurgische Technik zur gezielten sensorischen Reinnervation der oberen Gliedmaßen. Einzelne Fingernerven reinnervieren selektiv die Haut des Unterarms und stellt die räumliche sensorische Kapazität einzelner Finger der amputierten Hand in einer Fallserie von sieben Patienten wieder her. Wir konnten nachweisen, dass das Zusammenspiel der umgelenkten Finger-Restnerven und die Interpretation der sensorischen Wahrnehmung nach der Reinnervation der Unterarmhaut im somatosensorischen Kortex zuverlässig funktionierte,  und konnten die sensorische Nervenaktionspotentiale (SNAPs), somatosensorisch evozierte Potentiale (SEPs) und amputationsassoziierte Schmerzqualitäten auswerten.

The Executive Board And The Office Introduce Themselves
We have reached the end of the introduction of the members of the current ÖGBMT Board. Last but not least:

Univ.-Prof. DI Dr. Heinz-Bodo Schmiedmayer   (co-opted ÖGBMT board member and working group leader)
Born on 15 March 1963. After graduating from high school in Vienna 23 and completing his military service, he studied mechanical engineering at the Vienna University of Technology, graduating in December 1978. Title of the diploma thesis: ‘Simulation of robot movements in graphical representation, taking into account a collision test’. Then doctoral studies at the Vienna University of Technology and doctorate in technical sciences in 1994. Dissertation topic: ‘Modelling of the human knee joint with special consideration of the menisci’. In 2000, habilitation and appointment as Associate Professor of Biomechanics at the Vienna University of Technology.
Heinz-Bodo Schmiedmayer has been a member of the ÖGBMT since the 15th Annual Meeting of the ÖGBMT (1990) in Innsbruck and has subsequently supported the then head of the ÖGBMT’s Biomechanics Working Group with various agendas such as the organisation of sessions and symposia on biomechanics. In 2002, he took over the management of the working group. This was also expanded to include the subject area of biomaterials.

Mag. Eva Müller-Putz(ÖGBMT Office)
Eva Putz studied French and German language and literature in Graz and Bordeaux, trained as a public librarian, gained professional experience in publishing, academic libraries, translation, editing and proofreading work and has been working as a freelance author since 2019.
She has been working part-time at ÖGBMT since 1 July 2020 and takes care of all office matters from her home office in Bad Goisern.


Information from Members for Members

New publication by Müller-Putz and colleagues:

Restoration of true sensation and proprioception of individual fingers after transradial amputation with targeted sensory reinnervation as a mechanoneural interface

In this paper, we describe a novel surgical technique for targeted sensory reinnervation of the upper limb. Individual finger nerves selectively reinnervate the skin of the forearm and restore the spatial sensory capacity of individual fingers of the amputated hand in a case series of seven patients. We were able to demonstrate that the interaction of the redirected residual finger nerves and the interpretation of sensory perception after reinnervation of the forearm skin in the somatosensory cortex functioned reliably and were able to evaluate sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs), somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) and amputation-associated pain qualities.


Vacancies: PhD students in the field of Biomedical Engineering
At the University of Innsbruck, Institute of Mechatronics, Biomedical Engineering Group (Prof. Baumgarten), two PhD positions in FWF-funded research projects are available as soon as possible. Further information on the positions can be found at:
