Prescription of the first prosthesis and later use in children with congenital unilateral upper limb deficiency: A systematic review [PDF]
, 2006 Background: The prosthetic rejection rates in children with an upper limb transversal reduction deficiency are considerable. It is unclear whether the timing of the first prescription of the prosthesis contributes to the rejection rates.

Prosthetic management of mid-facial defect with magnet-retained silicone prosthesis [PDF]
, 2013 Background and aim: Mid-facial defect is one of the most disfiguring and impairing defects. A design of prosthesis that is aesthetic and stable can be precious to a patient who has lost part of his face due to surgical excision.

An Analysis of Theories in Biomechanics
Engineering Transactions, 2015 The nature of the systems commonly thought of as coming into the remit of biomechanics range from 'mechanical' systems (concerned with the design of medical devices, such as implants) to 'mechanobiological' systems (concerned with the response of tissues,

Effects of prosthetic design parameters on running performance of a unilateral transfemoral amputee
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2021 Carbon fiber running-specific prostheses (RSPs) are widely used among lower-limb amputee runners. However, which prosthesis provides the best performance for runners remains unknown.

A Biomechanical Model for the Development of Myoelectric Hand Prosthesis Control Systems [PDF]
, 2010 Advanced myoelectric hand prostheses aim to reproduce as much of the human hand's functionality as possible. Development of the control system of such a prosthesis is strongly connected to its mechanical design; the control system requires accurate ...

How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation [PDF]
, 2013 Despite recent controversy, it is not yet formally recognised how lower-limb prosthesis should be assessed for their performance. To assist in this process, experiments are undertaken to investigate the linearity, stiffness and assessment of feet based ...
