Hand Transplantation Versus Hand Prosthetics: Pros and Cons [PDF]
Current Surgery Reports, 2016 Composite tissue transplantation and new developments in the field of prosthetics have opened new frontiers in the restoration of function among upper limb amputees. It is now possible to restore hand function in affected patients; however, the indications, advantages, and limitations for either hand transplantation or prosthetic fitting must be ...

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 When I see my face in a mirror, its apparent position (behind the glass) is not one that my own face could be in. I accept the face I see as my own because I have an implicit understanding of how mirrors work.

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation EngineeringProsthetic hands offer significant benefits for patients with hand amputations by partially replicating the function of real hands. However, most current prosthetics lack sensory feedback on movement, leading to a gap in proprioception for users.

Surface EMG in advanced hand prosthetics [PDF]
Biological Cybernetics, 2008 One of the major problems when dealing with highly dexterous, active hand prostheses is their control by the patient wearing them. With the advances in mechatronics, building prosthetic hands with multiple active degrees of freedom is realisable, but actively controlling the position and especially the exerted force of each finger cannot yet be done ...

Recognition of Upper Limb Action Intention Based on IMU
Sensors, 2022 Using motion information of the upper limb to control the prosthetic hand has become a hotspot of current research. The operation of the prosthetic hand must also be coordinated with the user’s intention.

, 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.

Development of an Anthropomorphic Prosthetic Hand with Underactuated Mechanism
Applied Sciences, 2020 An anthropomorphic prosthetic hand for wrist or forearm amputees is developed herein. The prosthetic hand was designed with an underactuated mechanism, which makes self-adaptive grasping possible, as well as natural motions such as flexion and extension.
