Automated Forearm Prosthesis Controlling Using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor [PDF]
This paper describes the automation of a forearm prosthesis using the signal collected by a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor. The FBG sensor is applied to one subject's forearm to measure the deformation as a result of the index and middle fingers when ...

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,
