Design of a Prototype for Vision Prosthesis
International Journal of Biomedical and Clinical Engineering, 2018This article describes how the field of vision prostheses is currently being developed around the world to restore useful vision for people suffering from retinal degenerative diseases. The vision prosthesis system (VPS) maps visual images to electrical pulses and stimulates the surviving healthy parts in the retina of the eye, i.e.

Hip prosthesis: biomechanics and design
2022Total hip arthroplasty is currently one of the most successful and frequently performed surgical procedures. The hip replacement operation is required if the joint is affected by severe osteoarthritis, which is known to lead to pain and limitations in the joint functions, especially when the patient is not responding to conservative treatments ...

Knee prosthesis: biomechanics and design
2022Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total knee replacement (TKR) is, along with total hip arthroplasty, the most common prosthesis implanted by orthopedic surgeons; suffice it to say that both cover nearly 90% of orthopedic implants used. Nowadays, the global demand for TKA is increasing at an impressive rate due to the increasing prevalence of knee ...

Analysis and design of transtibial prosthesis
2017 CHILEAN Conference on Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (CHILECON), 2017The 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.

Vestibular prosthesis design for restoring balance
Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing, 2013Over the last decade significant progress has been made in developing neuroprosthetic devices to restore balance. However, there still remain major challenges to overcome before an advanced clinical implant is created. These include efficient wireless power and data transmission, multichannel stimulation with minimal crosstalk, effective and safe ...

Biomechanical Design of the Total Ankle Prosthesis
Engineering in Medicine, 1983The 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).

Design of an underactuated prosthesis arm
2016 6th IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob), 2016In motion design of a prosthesis arm, number of actuators is considered the most crucial part. The higher number of actuator allows us to have many degree of freedom while results in the heavy weight of the device. In the past, motors and pneumatic systems are commonly used as actuators for prosthesis devices.

Design and characterization of a powered elbow prosthesis
2015 37th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2015This paper describes the design of a powered elbow prosthesis, which incorporates a belt and cable drive transmission with a brushless DC motor to achieve an output torque of approximately 18.4 Nm, a backdrive torque of 1.5 Nm, and a speed of up to 360 deg/s while remaining within the anthropomorphic envelope with regard to mass and size.

Design and fabrication of an experimental cochlear prosthesis
Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1983The 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 ...
