Postmortem investigation of a human cortical visual prosthesis that was implanted for 36 years
Journal of Neural Engineering, 2020 Postmortem analysis of the brain from a blind human subject who had a cortical visual prosthesis implanted for 36 years (Dobelle 2000 Asaio J. 46 3–9) This provided insight into the design requirements for a successful human cortical visual prosthesis by

How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation [PDF]
, 2013 Despite recent controversy, it is not yet formally recognised how lower-limb prosthesis should be assessed for their performance. To assist in this process, experiments are undertaken to investigate the linearity, stiffness and assessment of feet based ...

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

Use of cortical electrodes in solving visual prosthesis problems
Анналы 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
