Highly integrated bionic prostheses resolve the thermal asymmetry between residual amputated and contralateral limbs

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Residual limbs after amputation present colder temperatures than unaffected contralateral limbs. This temperature asymmetry has been attributed to autonomic and cognitive factors, such as changes in body representation.

INVESTIGATION OF LOCALIZED SKIN TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE TRANSTIBIAL RESIDUAL LIMB

open access: yesCanadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2021
BACKGROUND: Interventions to resolve thermal discomfort as a common complaint in amputees are usually chosen based on the residual limb skin temperature while wearing prosthesis; whereas, less attention has been paid to residual limb skin temperature ...

Effect of temperature-control liner materials on long-term outcomes of lower limb prosthesis use: a randomized controlled trial protocol

open access: yesTrials, 2020
Background In people living with limb loss, addressing the resulting functional deficit with prostheses increases the risk for secondary conditions such as pressure sores, impaired blood perfusion, and injuries from accidental falls.

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Transfemoral Prosthesis With Ambulatory Length-Actuation: Design and Preliminary Evaluation

open access: yesIEEE Access
Most current powered transfemoral prostheses are designed based on replicating normal anatomy with the inclusion of a revolute knee joint. Prosthesis users often have issues achieving proper leg length to maintain balance and perform push-off during ...

Bodily ownership of an independent supernumerary limb: an exploratory study

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Can our brain perceive a sense of ownership towards an independent supernumerary limb; one that can be moved independently of any other limb and provides its own independent movement feedback?
