Sprint Start Kinetics of Amputee and Non-Amputee Sprinters
PLOS ONE, 2016 The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the forces applied to the starting blocks and the start performances (SPs) of amputee sprinters (ASs) and non-amputee sprinters (NASs). SPs of 154 male and female NASs (100-m personal records [PRs], 9.58-14.00 s) and 7 male ASs (3 unilateral above knee, 3 unilateral below knee, 1 ...

The Development of a Myoelectric Training Tool for Above-Elbow Amputees [PDF]
, 2012 The objective of above-elbow myoelectric prostheses is to reestablish the functionality of missing limbs and increase the quality of life of amputees. By using electromyography (EMG) electrodes attached to the surface of the skin, amputees are able to ...

Early Outcomes in Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Traumatic Amputations
Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery Open, 2023 Background Traumatic amputees commonly experience residual limb pain (RLP) and phantom limb pain (PLP) which present major barriers to rehabilitation. An evolving treatment, targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), shows promise in reducing these symptoms ...

Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 1980 In patients with stump problems, radiological examination of the stump is desirable. To get a maximum of information, the X-ray technique has to be adapted to the qualities of the stump which are different from the corresponding part of a normal limb. Special techniques permit further diagnosis.

Multimodal Haptic Perception Through Synergistic Nanocomposite Sensor Arrays
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Multi‐modal fingertip haptics are advanced through a bioinspired &vertical‐via' electronic skin architecture. A confined PDMS/MWCNT/NiNP nanocomposite, sitting at the percolation threshold, enables tactile, thermal, and magnetic sensing. A unique via‐density gradient and dedicated &Un‐Touch' reference nodes provide robust spatial resolution and signal ...
