Design of a Semipowered Stance-Control Swing-Assist Transfemoral Prosthesis
This article describes the design of a new type of knee prosthesis called a stance-control swing-assist (SCSA) knee prosthesis. The device is motivated by the recognition that energetically passive stance-controlled microprocessor-controlled knees ...

Prosthetic management of mid-facial defect with magnet-retained silicone prosthesis [PDF]
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.
