Virtual and Augmented Reality-Based Assistive Interfaces for Upper-limb Prosthesis Control and Rehabilitation [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Functional upper-limb prosthetic training can improve users performance in controlling prostheses and has been incorporated into occupational therapy for individuals in need. In recent years, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies have been shown to be promising avenues to improve the convenience of rehabilitative prosthesis ...

Inter‐Day Grasping Model Generalization for Prosthetic Hand Using Soft Optical Sensing Sleeve

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents an optical sensing sleeve that addresses challenges in inter‐day grasping intent recognition caused by donning and doffing during repeated use. Featuring six specialized optical waveguides the sleeve accurately maps grasping forces with high generalization inter‐day and inner‐day.

Personalized On-line Adaptation of Kinematic Synergies for Human-Prosthesis Interfaces [PDF]

IEEE Trans. Cybern. (2019) 1-15, 2019
Synergies have been adopted in prosthetic limb applications to reduce complexity of design, but typically involve a single synergy setting for a population and ignore individual preference or adaptation capacity. However, personalization of the synergy setting is necessary for the effective operation of the prosthetic device.

Patient satisfaction and penile morphology changes with postoperative penile rehabilitation 2 years after Coloplast Titan prosthesis

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2016
A common complaint after inflatable penile prosthesis surgery is reduced penile length. We previously reported how using the Coloplast Titan inflatable penile prosthesis with aggressive new length measurement technique (NLMT) coupled with postoperative ...

Emulating Human Kinematic Behavior on Lower-Limb Prostheses via Multi-Contact Models and Force-Based Nonlinear Control [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Ankle push-off largely contributes to limb energy generation in human walking, leading to smoother and more efficient locomotion. Providing this net positive work to an amputee requires an active prosthesis, but has the potential to enable more natural assisted locomotion.

Penile fracture after nerve‐sparing radical prostatectomy: Case report and review of literature

IJU Case Reports, EarlyView.
Introduction Penile fractures typically do not occur in patients unable to maintain an adequate erection. Erectile dysfunction is known as one of the major complications of radical prostatectomy, and no cases of postoperative penile fractures have been reported. Case presentation A 78‐year‐old male with a history of radical prostatectomy with bilateral

Origin and characterization of cyclodepsipeptides: Comprehensive structural approaches with focus on mass spectrometry analysis of alkali‐cationized molecular species

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyclodepsipeptides (CDPs) represent a huge family of chemically and structurally diverse molecules with a wide ability for molecular interactions. CDPs are cyclic peptide‐related natural products made up of both proteinogenic and nonproteinogenic amino acids linked by amide and ester bonds.

Viscoelasticity Estimation of Sports Prosthesis by Energy-minimizing Inverse Kinematics and Its Validation by Forward Dynamics [PDF]

Advanced Robotics, 2024, 1-13
In this study, we present a method for estimating the viscoelasticity of a leaf-spring sports prosthesis using advanced energy minimizing inverse kinematics based on the Piece-wise Constant Strain (PCS) model to reconstruct the three-dimensional dynamic behavior.
