Design and fabrication of an experimental cochlear prosthesis

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1983
The technical and safety requirements for intracochlear electrical stimulation to restore hearing in the profoundly deaf are reviewed. A system has been implanted in human subjects which comprises a 16-contact flexible electrode array, radio receiver/stimulator and surgical disconnect which permits changing from percutaneous cable to transcutaneous ...

Structural design of costomized femoral prosthesis

2017 IEEE International Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems (CIS) and IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics (RAM), 2017
One of the main reasons for the loosening of the prosthesis is that the standard prosthesis can not meet the individual requirements of the human body, ignoring the shape of the marrow cavity, and can not match the human marrow cavity effectively.

Biomechanical Design of the Total Ankle Prosthesis

Engineering in Medicine, 1983
The load bearing joints of the human body and particularly the ankle are often seriously damaged because of different pathological events. During the last 10 years a lot of total ankle prostheses have been studied and implanted, in consequence of the inadequate results obtained by arthrodesis (i.e. the fusion of the joint).

Multifunctional hand prosthesis setup design

2016 Medical Technologies National Congress (TIPTEKNO), 2016
In this study, two channels, multifunctional myoelectric prosthesis hand is designed and operated for biomedical and control engineering departments laboratory as experiment apparatus. Various analog signal processing steps are implemented to the surface EMG signals which received on the triceps and biceps muscles.

Design and testing of a flexible hip prosthesis

Clinical Biomechanics, 1994
A prosthesis with flexibility and optimal proximal fit was constructed in titanium alloy. The aim was to create the same elasticity as in the femoral shaft. Distally it was cylindrical with slots in the stem and a spacer made of polymer was placed in the slots.

Design of a semi-active knee prosthesis

2009 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2009
Current state-of-the-art prostheses for transfemoral amputees operate exclusively through controlled damping or through fully powered gait imitation. The passive devices cannot restore a natural gait, and the active devices are large and inefficient. This paper summarizes the design of a new semi-active prosthetic knee that combines the proven safety ...

Design and Development of a Bionic Hand Prosthesis

2017
It is known that a problem to amputees who lost a hand by accident or some type of illness, is the high cost yet little functionality of common hand prostheses. Often commercial prostheses are better, but not largely accessible. Nevertheless, we have recently observed a great number of hand prostheses pitched by open source projects.

Analysis and design of transtibial prosthesis

2017 CHILEAN Conference on Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (CHILECON), 2017
The population status of disability of the lower limbs represents a challenge to recover locomotion, because they require costly interventions, depending on the characteristics of each patient's needs, prosthetic-orthotic needs, or elements that help in its displacement.

Optimizing Ossicular Prosthesis Design and Placement

2018
Middle ear hearing reconstruction is unpredictable. Difficulties arise because of host factors, such as ventilation or scarring, surgical technique factors, such as prosthesis placement and stabilization, and design and mechanical factors influencing the properties of the prosthesis.
