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

On the Analysis of the Contact Conditions in Temporomandibular Joint Prostheses [PDF]
Temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR) is a complex surgical procedure in which the artificial joints available must assure the anatomical reconstruction and guarantee a good range of the natural temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements. With this aim,

Prescription of the first prosthesis and later use in children with congenital unilateral upper limb deficiency: A systematic review [PDF]
Background: The prosthetic rejection rates in children with an upper limb transversal reduction deficiency are considerable. It is unclear whether the timing of the first prescription of the prosthesis contributes to the rejection rates.
