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 ...

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 ...

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.

Design of a Myoelectric Transhumeral Prosthesis
IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2016This paper describes a transhumeral prosthesis prototype intended for the purpose of experimentally investigating design features and control strategies for the control of transhumeral prostheses. This paper specifically focuses on the design and performance characterization of a powered wrist rotator and powered elbow joint, in addition to the ...

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 and Characterization of an Open-Source Robotic Leg Prosthesis
International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics, 2018Challenges associated with current prosthetic technologies limit the quality of life of lower-limb amputees. Passive prostheses lead amputees to walk slower, use more energy, fall more often, and modify their gait patterns to compensate for the ...

Design, development, and testing of a lightweight hybrid robotic knee prosthesis
Int. J. Robotics Res., 2018We present a lightweight robotic knee prosthesis with a novel hybrid actuation system that enables passive and active operation modes. The proposed hybrid knee uses a spring-damper system in combination with an electric motor and transmission system ...
