A robot hand testbed designed for enhancing embodiment and functional neurorehabilitation of body schema in subjects with upper limb impairment or loss. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Many upper limb amputees experience an incessant, post-amputation "phantom limb pain" and report that their missing limbs feel paralyzed in an uncomfortable posture.

Effects of extended powered knee prosthesis stance time via visual feedback on gait symmetry of individuals with unilateral amputation: a preliminary study

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019
Background Establishing gait symmetry is a major aim of amputee rehabilitation and may be more attainable with powered prostheses. Though, based on previous work, we postulate that users transfer a previously-learned motor pattern across devices ...

Use of accelerometers in the control of practical prosthetic arms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Accelerometers can be used to augment the control of powered prosthetic arms. They can detect the orientation of the joint and limb and the controller can correct for the amount of torque required to move the limb.

A Model for Assessing the Electromagnetic Safety of an Inductively Coupled, Modular Brain-Machine Interface

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022
Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) offer the potential to modulate dysfunctional neurological networks by electrically stimulating the cerebral cortex via chronically-implanted microelectrodes. Wireless transmitters worn by BMI recipients must operate within

Use of cortical electrodes in solving visual prosthesis problems

open access: yesАнналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2017
There are two main approaches to visual function prosthesis in blindpatients with the use of brain-computer interfaces on the basisof either retinal or cortical stimulation by implanted electrodes. Themost complex in visual prosthesis is creation of the

Effect of the electrode array-retina gap distance on visual function in patients with the Argus II retinal prosthesis

open access: yesBMC Ophthalmology, 2020
Background Post-implantation visual outcomes in patients with the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis is dependent on a multitude of factors including the positioning of the electrode array on the retina.

Cobalt toxic optic neuropathy and retinopathy: Case report and review of the literature

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports, 2020
Purpose: We detail a case of cobalt toxicity with visual and systemic complications, review the pathogenic process for the optic neuropathy and retinopathy, and discuss the controversy of metallic hip prosthesis. Observations: A 59-year-old female with a
