Patient-Specific Prosthetic Fingers by Remote Collaboration - A Case Study [PDF]
Public Library of Science, PLoS ONE 6(5):e19508, 2011, 2011 The concealment of amputation through prosthesis usage can shield an amputee from social stigma and help improve the emotional healing process especially at the early stages of hand or finger loss.

Relative motion at the bone-prosthesis interface [PDF]
, 1994 Bone ingrowth in porous surfaces of human joint implants is a desired condition for long-term fixation in patients who are physically active (such as in sport or work). It is generally recognized that little actual bone ingrowth occurs. The best clinical

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.

A Biomechanical Model for the Development of Myoelectric Hand Prosthesis Control Systems [PDF]
, 2010 Advanced myoelectric hand prostheses aim to reproduce as much of the human hand's functionality as possible. Development of the control system of such a prosthesis is strongly connected to its mechanical design; the control system requires accurate ...

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 ...

Osseointegrated prostheses for rehabilitation following amputation : The pioneering Swedish model. [PDF]
, 2017 The direct attachment of osseointegrated (OI) prostheses to the skeleton avoids the inherent problems of socket suspension. It also provides physiological weight bearing, improved range of motion in the proximal joint, as well as osseoperceptive sensory ...
