Touch on predefined areas on the forearm can be associated with specific fingers: Towards a new principle for sensory feedback in hand prostheses

open access: yesJournal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2019
Objective: Currently available hand prostheses lack sensory feedback. A “phantom hand map”, a referred sensation, on the skin of the residual arm is a possible target to provide amputees with non-invasive somatotopically matched sensory feedback.

Embodying functionally relevant action sounds in patients with spinal cord injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Growing evidence indicates that perceptual-motor codes may be associated with and influenced by actual bodily states. Following a spinal cord injury (SCI), for example, individuals exhibit reduced visual sensitivity to biological motion.

DeepPose: Human Pose Estimation via Deep Neural Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We propose a method for human pose estimation based on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). The pose estimation is formulated as a DNN-based regression problem towards body joints.

Evaluation of the gait performance of above-knee amputees while walking with 3R20 and 3R15 knee joints

open access: yesJournal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2012
Background: The performance of the subjects with above-knee amputation is noticeably poorer than normal subjects. Various types of components have been designed to compensate their performance.

Robotic-Enhanced Prosthetic Liners for Vibration Therapy: Reducing Phantom Limb Pain in Transfemoral Amputees

open access: yesSensors
Phantom limb pain, a common challenge for amputees, lacks effective treatment options. Vibration therapy is a promising non-pharmacologic intervention for reducing pain intensity, but its efficacy in alleviating phantom limb pain requires further ...

An Optimization Method for an Active Multi-Unit Prosthetic Socket with Dynamic Adaptability in Multi-Task Scenarios

open access: yesBiomimetics
As a core functional component of the prosthetic system, the prosthetic socket’s adaptability to the residual limb is directly correlated with the prosthetic’s performance, comfort level, and safety profile. Although traditional sockets can satisfy basic

Novel homozygous GBA2 mutation in a patient with complicated spastic paraplegia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders characterized primarily by a pyramidal syndrome with lower limb spasticity, which can manifest as pure HSP or associated with a number of neurological or non ...
