Prosthesis with neuromorphic multilayered e-dermis perceives touch and pain
A multilayered e-dermis allows a prosthesis and an amputee to perceive a range of innocuous and noxious tactile stimuli. The human body is a template for many state-of-the-art prosthetic devices and sensors.

How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation [PDF]
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 ...

Calculation of wear (f.i. wear modulus) in the plastic cup of a hip joint prosthesis [PDF]
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 ...
