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.

Reinforcement Learning Enabled Automatic Impedance Control of a Robotic Knee Prosthesis to Mimic the Intact Knee Motion in a Co-Adapting Environment [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Automatically configuring a robotic prosthesis to fit its user's needs and physical conditions is a great technical challenge and a roadblock to the adoption of the technology. Previously, we have successfully developed reinforcement learning (RL) solutions toward addressing this issue.

A Technique for Duplicating a Fixed Complete Denture [PDF]
, 2008 The fixed implant prosthesis often requires repair due to fracture and/or wear of acrylic resin teeth. Repair of such a prosthesis, although simple, requires retaining the prosthesis to be revised in the laboratory.

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.

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

Walking for short distances and turning in lower-limb amputees: a study in low-cost prosthesis users [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Preferred walking speed is a widely-used performance measure for people with mobility issues, but is usually measured in straight line walking for fixed distances or durations. However, daily walking involves walking for bouts of different distances and walking with turning.
