Semi-autonomous Prosthesis Control Using Minimal Depth Information and Vibrotactile Feedback [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
A semi-autonomous prosthesis control based on computer vision can be used to improve performance while decreasing the cognitive burden, especially when using advanced systems with multiple functions. However, a drawback of this approach is that it relies on the complex processing of a significant amount of data (e.g., a point cloud provided by a depth ...

Stretch due to Penile Prosthesis Reservoir Migration

Urology Case Reports, 2016
A 43-year old patient presented to the emergency department with stretch, due to impossible deflation of the penile prosthesis, 4 years after successful implant. A CT-scan showed migration of the reservoir to the left rectus abdominis muscle.

An Evaluative Study of a Nurse‐Led Surgical Information Initiative for Gender Diverse Individuals Seeking Genital Surgery

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the impact of nurse‐led one‐on‐one psychoeducation sessions on gender diverse individuals seeking gender‐affirming genital surgery. Design A quasi‐experimental, pre‐ and post‐test research design was employed to examine the impact of a nurse‐led initiative on improving patients self‐perceived knowledge and confidence pertaining

Data-driven Characterization of Human Interaction for Model-based Control of Powered Prostheses [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
This paper proposes a data-driven method for powered prosthesis control that achieves stable walking without the need for additional sensors on the human. The key idea is to extract the nominal gait and the human interaction information from motion capture data, and reconstruct the walking behavior with a dynamic model of the human-prosthesis system ...

Fracture Resistance and Wear Behavior of Ultra‐Thin Occlusal Veneers Made From Translucent Zirconia Ceramics Bonded to Different Tooth Substrates

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Investigation of the mechanical properties of occlusal veneers made from zirconia with varying translucency, bonded to different tooth substrates. Materials and Methods Sixty‐four extracted molars were divided into two groups: preparation within enamel (E) or extending into dentin (D). Veneers were milled from four zirconia ceramics (

Two Fungal Infections of Inflatable Penile Prostheses in Diabetics

Sexual Medicine, 2015
Introduction: Penile prosthesis infections have decreased since the introduction of antibiotic‐coated implants. Infections that do occur can be from more rare and virulent organisms than the traditional skin flora historically implicated.

A Robotic Prosthesis for an Amputee Drummer [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The design and evaluation of a robotic prosthesis for a drummer with a transradial amputation is presented. The principal objective of the prosthesis is to simulate the role fingers play in drumming. This primarily includes controlling the manner in which the drum stick rebounds after initial impact.

Trip Recovery in Lower-Limb Prostheses using Reachable Sets of Predicted Human Motion [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
People with lower-limb loss, the majority of which use passive prostheses, exhibit a high incidence of falls each year. Powered lower-limb prostheses have the potential to reduce fall rates by actively helping the user recover from a stumble, but the unpredictability of the human response makes it difficult to design controllers that ensure a ...
