State-sponsored institute-based provision of advanced artificial limbs for rehabilitation of amputees

Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, 2022
Introduction: Amputation is a painful functional experience and optimal rehabilitation of an amputee is a team effort. Functional restitution depends on many factors including the type of prosthesis available.

Design method for a bionic wrist based on tensegrity structures

Biosurface and Biotribology, 2020
The traditional bionic upper limb structure design is limited by the motion pair and cannot guarantee the flexibility of the mechanical structure. The tensegrity structure has the characteristics of high deformability, strong self-adaptability, and ...

Isometric hip muscle strength in posttraumatic below-knee amputees [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2007
Background/Aim. Traumas and war injuries, next to chronic occlusive artery disease and diabetes mellitus-derived complications, are the most frequent cause of the lower limbs amputation.

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

Effect of Increasing Assistance From a Powered Prosthesis on Weight-Bearing Symmetry, Effort, and Speed During Stand-Up in Individuals With Above-Knee Amputation

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
After above-knee amputation, the missing biological knee and ankle are commonly replaced with a passive prosthesis, which cannot provide net-positive energy to assist the user.

Clinical outcomes of a low-cost single-channel myoelectric-interface three-dimensional hand prosthesis

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2019
Background Prosthetic hands with a myoelectric interface have recently received interest within the broader category of hand prostheses, but their high cost is a major barrier to use.

TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES IN HEALTH ECONOMIC EVALUATIONS OF PROSTHETIC CARE INNOVATIONS

Canadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2021
Overcoming obstacles to prosthetic fittings requires frequent tryouts of sockets and components. Repetitions of interventions are upsetting for users and place substantial economic burden on healthcare systems.

Do interoception and attending to the upper limbs affect body ownership and body representation in the grasp illusion?

PLoS ONE, 2021
Passively grasping an unseen artificial finger induces ownership over this finger and an illusory coming together of one's index fingers: a grasp illusion.
