An exploratory evaluation of psychological factors in the rejection of upper limb prostheses : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Psychology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1983 This study investigated the reactions of arm amputees to their prostheses and explored possible reasons for these reactions. A questionnaire was constructed to determine the use to which the recipients put their prostheses. A preliminary validation study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective We estimated the real‐world cost‐effectiveness of a standardized education and exercise therapy program (GLA:D) compared to usual care (UC) for people managing hip and/or knee osteoarthritis (HKOA). Methods We used a prospective matched cohort design to recruit people (aged >45 years) diagnosed with HKOA who used GLA:D or UC (not on a ...

The use of sensory feedback in the adaptation of perturbed /s/ [PDF]
, 2008 The study investigates the contribution of tactile and auditory feedback in the adaptation of /s/ towards a palatal prosthesis. Five speakers were recorded via electromagnetic articulography, at first without the prosthesis, then with the prosthesis and ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a hyperelastic mechanical metamaterial for elastic energy dissipation. Energy is dissipated within its unit cells by friction assisted by material damping. Frictional contact is enhanced when using auxetic unit cells. The load–displacement plot for one compression cycle shows a pronounced hysteresis loop, indicating that a large ...

Temporal development of compensation strategies for perturbed palate shape in German /S/-production [PDF]
, 2006 The palate shape of four speakers was changed by a prosthesis which either lowered the palate or retracted the alveoles. Subjects wore the prosthesis for two weeks and were recorded several times via EMA.

Infection in prosthetic material [PDF]
, 2015 Surgical site infection (SSI) occurs when a wound created as part of a surgical procedure becomes infected. SSI is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections and occurs in approximately 5% of patients undergoing a surgical procedure. SSI may

Key Trends and Insights in Smart Polymeric Skin Wearable Patches
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Intelligent polymers, which respond to various physical and biological stimuli, are explored for the development of skin wearable patches in biomedical applications. Smart polymers, also known as intelligent or stimuli‐responsive polymers, play a crucial role in the development of advanced wearable patches due to their versatility and softness.

On the Analysis of the Contact Conditions in Temporomandibular Joint Prostheses [PDF]
, 2018 Temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR) is a complex surgical procedure in which the artificial joints available must assure the anatomical reconstruction and guarantee a good range of the natural temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements. With this aim,
