New Born Child With A Rare Disorder Resulting In Transhumeral Amputation, Fitted With A Prothesis At The Age Of 6 Months

Christensen, Benedikte Krogh Holck (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

A newborn boy with normal birth weight developed an arterial thrombosis in his left arm during the labour resulting in a transhumeral amputation.
A Comparison Between Three Pattern Recognition Algorithms For Decoding Finger Movements Using Surface Emg

Antfolk, Christian; Sebelius, Fredrik (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)
The Prosthetics Needs Of Farmers And Ranchers With Upper-Limb Amputations

Heckathorne, Craig W.; Waldera, Kathy (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

Farming and ranching are among the most hazardous occupations in the United States with many non-fatal accidents resulting in amputation. In addition, those who continue to farm using prostheses are at risk of secondary ...
Using Motion Analysis To Augment Upper-Limb Prosthetics Outcome Measures

Heckathorne, Craig W.; Stine, Rebecca (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

As upper-limb prosthetic systems have become more sophisticated in terms of actuation and control, greater importance is being placed on producing movements of both the prosthesis and the user that have a more physiologically ...
Long Term Results Of Early Myoelectric Fittings

Hermansson, Liselotte Norling; Sjöberg, Lis (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)
A One Year Retrospective Overview Of Partial Hand Patients Using Prodigits

Atkins, Diane J. (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

To date, more than 150 patients worldwide, with partial hand amputations, have been fit with ProDigits technology. This study includes a comprehensive overview of 14 of those patients. A major emphasis will be placed upon ...
The Electric Terminal Device (ETD) – Case Studies & Evolution

Sears, Harold H.; Iversen, Edwin (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)
Using The Controller Area Network For Communication Between Prosthesis Sensors And Control Systems

Idstein, Thomas M.; Lock, Blair A.; Parks, Robert; Tran, Dat; Hargrove, Levi (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

Advancements in electronics technology have yielded a wide variety of low-cost intelligent sensors and microprocessor-based control systems that can be incorporated into prostheses. The most efficient and reliable way to ...
Occupational Therapy: Training Postural Control For Functional Upper Limb Prosthesis Use

Ryan, Tiffany (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

Healthcare professionals working with upper limb (UL) amputees more often than not, have the privilege of working with a generally healthy patient population. Traumatic loss of the upper limb in previously active and ...
Using multiple outcome measures to determine skill level in myoelectric prosthesis use

Bouwsema, Hanneke; Kyberd, Peter J.; Hill, Wendy; van der Sluis, Corry K.; Bongers, Raoul M. (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

Most studies on prosthesis usage focus merely on one type of outcome measures, using questionnaires, functional tests, or kinematics. However, a combination of several outcome measures should provide a better picture on ...
Coding Scheme For Characterising Gaze Behaviour Of Prosthetic Use

Sobuh, M.; Kenney, L.; Galpin, A.; Thies, S.; Kyberd, P.; Raffi, R. (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)
Challenges And Solutions In Control Systems For Electrically Powered Articulating Digits

Lang, MacJulian (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

The invention and clinical application of electrically powered and independently articulating digits is relatively new in the field of external upper limb prosthetics. When utilized for patients with amputations or absence ...
Development Of A Pattern Recognition-Based Myoelectric Transhumeral Prosthesis With Multifunctional Simultaneous Control Using A Model-Driven Approach For Mechatronic Systems

Boschmann, Alexander; Platzner, Marco; Robrecht, Michael; Hahn, Martin; Winkler, Michael (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)
Design Of A Myoelectric Controller For A Multi-Dof Prosthetic Hand Based On Principal Component Analysis

Segil, Jacob; Weir, Richard F.; Reamon, Derek (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

The goal of this investigation is to develop a multi-degree of freedom (DOF) prosthesis controller that uses myoelectric signals as control inputs and which has been dimensionally optimized using Principal Component Analysis ...
Adaptive Scuba Diving

Fackrell, Alexandra (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)
First Experiences With The Vincent Hand

Schulz, Stefan (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

In this article a new prosthesis-technology will be presented. The System allows the design of single powered finger for partial hand prostheses and one of the world's smallest and lightest multifunctional hand system with ...
Osseointegration On Upper Limb Amputee. Prosthetic Treatment

Jönsson, Stewe; Caine-Winterberger, Kerstin; Brånemark, Rickard (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

Osseointegration has been used for prosthetic fixation since nineteen sixties. It is for example used in the dental and maxillofacial science. In 1990 started the osseointegration (OI) programme for upper extremity in ...
Osseointegration Of The Upper Limb – Rehabilitation And Outcome

Caine-Winterberger, Kerstin; Jönsson, Stewe; Brånemark, Rickard (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)
Comprehensive Arm Prosthesis And Rehabilitation Outcomes Questionnaire (CAPROQ)

Johnson, Shawn Swanson (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

Comprehensive Arm Prosthesis and Rehabilitation Outcomes Questionnaire (CAPROQ) is a questionnaire that is administered to Advanced Arm Dynamic (AAD) patients at various intervals during their prosthetic fitting experience ...
Preliminary Study On The Influence Of Inertia And Weight Of The Prosthesis On The Emg Pattern Recognition Robustness

Cipriani, Christian; Sassu, Rossella; Controzzi, Marco; Kanitz, Gunter; Carrozza, Maria Chiara (Myoelectric Symposium, 2011)

For transradial amputees, the muscles in the residual forearm naturally employed by unimpaired subjects for flexing/extending the hand fingers, are the most appropriate targets, for multi-fingered prostheses control. ...
