Perceptual drifts of real and artificial limbs in the rubber hand illusion [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 In the rubber hand illusion (RHI), transient embodiment of an artificial hand is induced. An often-used indicator for this effect is the “proprioceptive drift”, a localization bias of the real hand towards the artificial hand.

‘A Plentiful Crop of Cripples Made by All This Progress’: Disability, Artificial Limbs and Working-Class Mutualism in the South Wales Coalfield, 1890–19481 [PDF]
Social history of medicine : the journal of the Society for the Social History of Medicine, 2014 Historians of orthopaedics, artificial limbs and disability have devoted a great deal of attention to children and soldiers but have neglected to give sufficient space in their studies to industrial workers, the other patient group that has been ...

Science, medicine, and the future: Artificial limbs.
British medical journal, 2001 In recent years technical innovations have combined to make artificial limbs much more comfortable, efficient, and lifelike than earlier versions. Future innovations are likely to depend on the interaction between three powerful forces—amputees' demands,

Towards Techno-human: A Brief History of Artificial Limbs and Organs
International Journal of Human and Health Sciences, 2022 Background: The ‘techno-human’, which is the result of combining the human body with a machine or device which we have been made familiar with through science fiction movies, is frequently perceived as a distant and futuristic concept.

Grasping Embodiment: Haptic Feedback for Artificial Limbs
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021 Upper-limb prostheses are subject to high rates of abandonment. Prosthesis abandonment is related to a reduced sense of embodiment, the sense of self-location, agency, and ownership that humans feel in relation to their bodies and body parts.

Assessing Upper Limb Motor Function in the Immediate Post-Stroke Perioud Using Accelerometry [PDF]
2023 IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence (CAI), Santa
Clara, 2023, pp. 132-33, 2023 Accelerometry has been extensively studied as an objective means of measuring upper limb function in patients post-stroke. The objective of this paper is to determine whether the accelerometry-derived measurements frequently used in more long-term rehabilitation studies can also be used to monitor and rapidly detect sudden changes in upper limb motor ...

Topology of surface electromyogram signals: hand gesture decoding on Riemannian manifolds [PDF]
2024 J. Neural Eng. 21 036047, 2023 $\textit{Objective.}$ In this article, we present data and methods for decoding hand gestures using surface electromyogram (EMG) signals. EMG-based upper limb interfaces are valuable for amputee rehabilitation, artificial supernumerary limb augmentation, gestural control of computers, and virtual and augmented reality applications. $\textit{Approach.}$

Myoelectric Control of Artificial Limb Inspired by Quantum Information Processing [PDF]
Physica Scripta 90, 035001 (2015), 2013 Precise and elegant coordination of a prosthesis across many degrees of freedom represents a significant challenge to efficient rehabilitation of people with limb deficiency. Processing the electrical neural signals, collected from the surface of the remnant muscles of the stump, is a common way to initiate and control the different movements available
