Verification of Finger Positioning Accuracy of an Affordable Transradial Prosthesis
Designs, 2023 Whether due to unpleasant events, injuries or illnesses, people lose the mobility of their hands. In extreme cases, amputation of the hand or hands can also occur. This paper deals with designing and fabricating an affordable transradial prosthesis using

Prosthetic rehabilitation of resected orbit in a case of mucormycosis
The Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society, 2018 The design of orbital prosthesis to rehabilitate patients with orbital exenteration depends on the underlying clinical condition, material chosen for prosthesis, method of retention of the prosthesis, and and preference of the patient.

Noninvasive extendable prosthesis: a new design
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2020 The treatment of choice for distal femur malignancies in skeletally immature patients remains controversial. As the mainstream treatment, limb-salvage treatment has been recently investigated, but its application in children remains challenging ...

Hybrid Volitional Control of a Robotic Transtibial Prosthesis using a Phase Variable Impedance Controller [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 For robotic transtibial prosthesis control, the global kinematics of the tibia can be used to monitor the progression of the gait cycle and command smooth and continuous actuation. In this work, these global tibia kinematics are used to define a phase variable impedance controller (PVIC), which is then implemented as the nonvolitional base controller ...

Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a Variable Stiffness Transradial Hand Prosthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We present the design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of a low-cost, customizable, easy-to-use transradial hand prosthesis capable of adapting its compliance. Variable stiffness actuation (VSA) of the prosthesis is based on antagonistically arranged tendons coupled to nonlinear springs driven through a Bowden cable-based power transmission.

Is an artificial limb embodied as a hand? Brain decoding in prosthetic limb users.
PLoS Biology, 2020 The potential ability of the human brain to represent an artificial limb as a body part (embodiment) has been inspiring engineers, clinicians, and scientists as a means to optimise human-machine interfaces. Using functional MRI (fMRI), we studied whether
