A lightweight robotic leg prosthesis replicating the biomechanics of the knee, ankle, and toe joint
Science Robotics, 2022 Robotic leg prostheses promise to improve the mobility and quality of life of millions of individuals with lower-limb amputations by imitating the biomechanics of the missing biological leg. Unfortunately, existing powered prostheses are much heavier and

Assessment of the Centralization of Root Canal Preparation with Rotary Systems
Acta Stomatologica Croatica, 2016 Objective: Apical deviations are important factors in endodontic therapy, since they can cause the treatment failure. The aim of the present study was to determine the centering capacity of ProTaper Universal™, Twisted File™ and Revo-S® rotary systems ...

Prosthetic management of mid-facial defect with magnet-retained silicone prosthesis [PDF]
, 2013 Background and aim: Mid-facial defect is one of the most disfiguring and impairing defects. A design of prosthesis that is aesthetic and stable can be precious to a patient who has lost part of his face due to surgical excision.

Literature Review on Needs of Upper Limb Prosthesis Users
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016 The loss of one hand can significantly affect the level of autonomy and the capability of performing daily living, working and social activities. The current prosthetic solutions contribute in a poor way to overcome these problems due to limitations in ...
