A Biomechanical Model for the Development of Myoelectric Hand Prosthesis Control Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Advanced myoelectric hand prostheses aim to reproduce as much of the human hand's functionality as possible. Development of the control system of such a prosthesis is strongly connected to its mechanical design; the control system requires accurate ...

Soft tissue abnormalities in the congenital limb malformation radial dysplasia (RD): Their clinical impact and treatment significance

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We review the characteristic changes to the limb soft tissue and neurovascular abnormalities that have been described in the congenital limb birth defect, Radial Dysplasia. These include consistent changes in muscle anatomy or absence of specific muscles, persistent median arteries and absent radial arteries and consistent alterations in neural ...

NASA/USRA advanced design program activity 1990/1991 [PDF]

open access: yes
Four problems were defined which had aspects which would be reasonably assigned to an interdisciplinary design team. The design problems are: (1) design of a thermal shield for a lunar telescope (thermal protection for a lunar telescope); (2 ...

Erosive Osteoarthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the erosion of cartilage joints, hypertrophy of the marginal bone, subchondral sclerosis, and the morphological and biochemical changes of synovial membrane and joint capsule.This ...

Morbid anatomy of 'erosive osteoarthritis' of the interphalangeal finger joints : an optimised scoring system to monitor disease progression in affected joints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Objectives To develop and validate a quantitative radiographic scoring system, the Ghent University Scoring System (GUSS), with better ability to detect progression over a shorter period of time in erosive osteoarthritis (OA) of the interphalangeal (IP ...

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.

Bilateral absence of third and fourth lumbricals: A case report with clinico-evolutionary insight

open access: yesJournal of Current Research in Scientific Medicine, 2018
Lumbricals are wormlike, intrinsic muscle of the hand. During routine dissection of a male cadaver of age approximately ranging between 50 and 55 years, the absence of third and fourth lumbricals on both the palm was observed. First and second lumbricals

Synergy-based Hand Pose Sensing: Reconstruction Enhancement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Low-cost sensing gloves for reconstruction posture provide measurements which are limited under several regards. They are generated through an imperfectly known model, are subject to noise, and may be less than the number of Degrees of Freedom (DoFs) of ...

Microanatomical features of bovids long bones: What are the effects of mass and habitat?

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study provides the first qualitative and quantitative exploration of inter‐bones and interspecific variations in the microanatomy of long bones in bovids in response to significant changes in body mass and habitat. Abstract Bovids are a valuable group for studying limb long bone adaptations due to differences in size and the environment that the ...
