IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2012 Retinal prosthesis has been translated from the laboratory to the clinic over the past two decades. Currently, two devices have regulatory approval for the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa. These devices provide partial sight restoration and patients use this improved vision in their everyday lives.

The SmartHand transradial prosthesis [PDF]
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2011 Prosthetic components and control interfaces for upper limb amputees have barely changed in the past 40 years. Many transradial prostheses have been developed in the past, nonetheless most of them would be inappropriate if/when a large bandwidth human-machine interface for control and perception would be available, due to either their limited (or ...

Prescription of the first prosthesis and later use in children with congenital unilateral upper limb deficiency: A systematic review [PDF]
, 2006 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.

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.

Calculation of wear (f.i. wear modulus) in the plastic cup of a hip joint prosthesis [PDF]
, 1975 The wear equation is applied to the wear process in a hip joint prosthesis and a wear modulus is defined. The sliding distance, wear modulus, wear volume, wear area, contact angle and the maximum normal stress were calculated and the theoretical ...

Finite element analysis of porously punched prosthetic short stem virtually designed for simulative uncemented hip arthroplasty [PDF]
, 2017 Background: There is no universal hip implant suitably fills all femoral types, whether prostheses of porous short-stem suitable for Hip Arthroplasty is to be measured scientifically.

Perception, 2008 There are more than forty million blind individuals in the world whose plight would be greatly ameliorated by creating a visual prosthesis. We begin by outlining the basic operational characteristics of the visual system, as this knowledge is essential for producing a prosthetic device based on electrical stimulation through arrays of implanted ...

The influence of push-off timing in a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis on the energetics and mechanics of walking [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Robotic ankle-foot prostheses that provide net positive push-off work can reduce the metabolic rate of walking for individuals with amputation, but benefits might be sensitive to push-off timing.

Computationally efficient modeling of proprioceptive signals in the upper limb for prostheses: a simulation study. [PDF]
, 2014 Accurate models of proprioceptive neural patterns could one day play an important role in the creation of an intuitive proprioceptive neural prosthesis for amputees.

How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation [PDF]
, 2013 Despite recent controversy, it is not yet formally recognised how lower-limb prosthesis should be assessed for their performance. To assist in this process, experiments are undertaken to investigate the linearity, stiffness and assessment of feet based ...
