Design and Speed-Adaptive Control of a Powered Geared Five-Bar Prosthetic Knee Using BP Neural Network Gait Recognition

open access: yesSensors, 2019
To improve the multi-speed adaptability of the powered prosthetic knee, this paper presented a speed-adaptive neural network control based on a powered geared five-bar (GFB) prosthetic knee. The GFB prosthetic knee is actuated via a cylindrical cam-based

The Octopus Procedure Combined with Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Elective Transhumeral Amputation

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2021
Summary:. Optimizing prosthetic function and tolerance are key principles of performing an elective upper extremity amputation. It is common for upper extremity amputees to experience issues related to nonoptimal prosthetic control and pain.

Design, Kinematics and Gait Analysis, of Prosthetic Knee Joints: A Systematic Review

open access: yesBioengineering, 2023
The aim of this review article is to appraise the design and functionality of above-knee prosthetic legs. So far, various transfemoral prosthetic legs are found to offer a stable gait to amputees but are limited to laboratories.

Control of prosthetic hands

open access: yes, 2020
We provide a review of the various methods for the control of active prosthetic hands. We introduce various conventional and contemporary approaches and lay the foundation of more advanced techniques that could achieve the holy grail of prosthesis control, that is, the continuous control of individual digits and wrist joints.

Cardinality as a Highly Descriptive Feature in Myoelectric Pattern Recognition for Decoding Motor Volition

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
Accurate descriptors of muscular activity play an important role in clinical practice and rehabilitation research. Such descriptors are features of myoelectric signals extracted from sliding time windows.

Postural Control Strategies and Balance-Related Factors in Individuals with Traumatic Transtibial Amputations

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Mechanisms behind compromised balance control in people with transtibial amputation need to be further explored, as currently little is known specifically about postural control strategies in people with traumatic transtibial amputation (tTTA).

Design and evaluation of a prosthetic shoulder controller [PDF]

open access: yes2011 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2011
The first goal of this study was to develop a 2 degree of freedom (DOF) upper limb controller utilizing shoulder elevation/depression and protraction/retraction. Its primary purpose is to control powered prosthetic shoulder joints being incorporated into a new generation of prosthetic arms for shoulder disarticulation and very high transhumeral ...

Ultrasound Imaging and Machine Learning to Detect Missing Hand Motions for Individuals Receiving Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Nerve-Pain Prevention

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) was initially developed as a technique for bionic prosthetic control but has since become a widely adopted strategy for managing pain and preventing neuroma formation after amputation.

Functionally biarticular control for smart prosthetics [PDF]

open access: yesWorld Haptics 2009 - Third Joint EuroHaptics conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems, 2009
In this paper we introduce the use of force feedback in conjunction with myoelectric control to establish an improved interface for a powered prosthetic limb. The force feedback is delivered through a single-axis exoskeleton worn about the elbow, while the EMG signal is derived from the biceps muscle.
