A robot hand testbed designed for enhancing embodiment and functional neurorehabilitation of body schema in subjects with upper limb impairment or loss. [PDF]
Many upper limb amputees experience an incessant, post-amputation "phantom limb pain" and report that their missing limbs feel paralyzed in an uncomfortable posture.

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]
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.

Use of cortical electrodes in solving visual prosthesis problems
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

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