Point: Artificial limbs do make artificially fast running speeds possible.

Journal of applied physiology, 2010
#### Overview. Three mechanical variables constrain the speeds of human runners: 1 ) how quickly the limbs can be repositioned for successive steps, 2 ) the forward distance the body travels while the foot is in contact with the ground, and 3 ) how much

Historic artificial limbs

The American Journal of Surgery, 1929
Abstract Prosthesis a (Stibbert) is doubtfully assigned in the catalogue to the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries. If we remember that the arm-piece “alla moderna” (volume 12), appeared in armor near the beginning of the sixteenth century, and that probably it was adopted in the construction of limbs after it had become general in armor, we may ...

Comments on Point:Counterpoint: Artificial limbs do/do not make artificially fast running speeds possible

, 2010
TO THE EDITOR: Weyand and Bundle (4) argue that artificial limbs can enable artificially fast running. Their argument, however, is based on single-speed running in a single bilateral-amputee athlete and should therefore be treated with caution (2).

Non-Invasive Hybrid Sensory System for Direct Brain Control of Artificial Limbs

, 2010
Current commercially available motorized replacement limbs rely on the activation of remaining muscle tissue or a different portion of the body to operate joints in the prosthetic, which requires training to use and may never feel natural.

Adjustments to amputation and an artificial limb in lower limb amputees

Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 2014
Positive adjustments to amputation and an artificial limb play important roles in the rehabilitation process.To study the different facets of adjustments to amputation and an artificial limb in lower limb amputees and to assess the possible role of different background and amputation-related factors that could potentially influence these adjustments ...

Early Fitting of Artificial Limbs to Amputated Lower Limbs

Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2004
Specific rehabilitation of patients with amputated lower limbs is first of all rehabilitation to walk with a prosthesis (artificial limb). After 20 years of practice of prosthetic early fitting for lower limbs amputees using practice prosthesis, the authors suggest that this technique is still up-to-date.
