A Robotic Prosthesis for an Amputee Drummer [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The design and evaluation of a robotic prosthesis for a drummer with a transradial amputation is presented. The principal objective of the prosthesis is to simulate the role fingers play in drumming. This primarily includes controlling the manner in which the drum stick rebounds after initial impact.

Augmented reality navigation system for visual prosthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The visual functions of visual prostheses such as field of view, resolution and dynamic range, seriously restrict the person's ability to navigate in unknown environments. Implanted patients still require constant assistance for navigating from one location to another.

Cin{é}matique d'une Proth{è}se de Main Myo{é}lectrique Accessible avec Actionneur Unique et R{é}tropulsion Passive du Pouce [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 This work proposes a new kinematics of a myoelectric hand prosthesis with a single actuator, allowing to realize the tridigital grip but also the lateral grip. Inspired by tridigital prostheses, which are simpler, more robust and less expensive than polydigital prostheses, this new kinematics aims at proposing an accessible prosthesis (affordable, easy-

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
