Human motion retrieval based on freehand sketch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper, we present an integrated framework of human motion retrieval based on freehand sketch. With some simple rules, the user can acquire a desired motion by sketching several key postures.

Solvitur Ambulando. A brief history of production and use of artificial limbs [PDF]

open access: yesActa Medico-Historica Rigensia, 2010
"I’ve done it! Have just come in from a 10-mile walk! The best I’ve done yet. Time 2 hrs 40 mins – not racing time, I am afraid, but I hope to improve on it. My Hanger is doing very good service.

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.

Robust recognition and segmentation of human actions using HMMs with missing observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper describes the integration of missing observation data with hidden Markov models to create a framework that is able to segment and classify individual actions from a stream of human motion using an incomplete 3D human pose estimation.

Introduction to Prosthetic Limbs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Approximately 2 million people in the Unites States alone have had an amputation, and many of these people use a prosthetic limb daily. The prosthetic limb, which began as a primitive device, is now a highly sophisticated piece of technology.

Voltage stability analysis of load buses in electric power system using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) and probabilistic neural network (pnn) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper presents the application of neural networks for analysing voltage stability of load buses in electric power system. Voltage stability margin (VSM) and load power margin (LPM) are used as the indicators for analysing voltage stability.

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?

Temporal-Difference Learning to Assist Human Decision Making during the Control of an Artificial Limb [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this work we explore the use of reinforcement learning (RL) to help with human decision making, combining state-of-the-art RL algorithms with an application to prosthetics. Managing human-machine interaction is a problem of considerable scope, and the

Lean mass and biological maturation as predictors of muscle power and strength performance in young athletes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundThe biological maturation (BM) analyzed by peak height velocity (PHV) and bone age (BA), and lean body mass has been associated with the strength and muscle power of young athletes.
