FITTING AND OUTCOMES OF A BILATERAL SHOULDER DISARTICULATION AMPUTEE FOLLOWING TARGETED HYPER-REINNERVATION NERVE TRANSFER SURGERY

Miller, L.A.; Lipschutz, R.D.; Stubblefield, K.A.; Kuiken, T.A. (Myoelectric Symposium, 2005)

to be controlled; yet there are fewer control signals remaining to control these multiple degrees-of-freedom. Traditional fitting of a shoulder disarticulation amputee with a myoelectric system uses 2-sites and sequential ...
SHOULDER DISARTICULATION FITTING WITH 6 INDEPENDENTLY CONTROLLED MOTORS AFTER TARGETED HYPER-REINNERVATION NERVE TRANSFER SURGERY

Miller, L.A.; Lipschutz, R.D.; Weir, R.W.; Williams, T.W.; Stubblefield, K.A.; Heckathorne, C.W.; Kuiken, T.A. (Myoelectric Symposium, 2005)

In 2002, targeted hyper-reinnervation nerve transfer surgery was performed unilaterally on a bilateral shoulder disarticulation amputee. The goal of this surgery was to create additional sites using the remaining unused ...
TRANSHUMERAL LEVEL FITTING AND OUTCOMES FOLLOWING TARGETED HYPER-REINNERVATION NERVE TRANSFER SURGERY

Lipschutz, R.D.; Miller, L.A.; Stubblefield, K.A.; Dumanian, G.; Phillips, M.E.; Kuiken, T.A. (Myoelectric Symposium, 2005)

In a typical transhumeral myoelectric system, biceps and triceps control both elbow and hand. Mode selection (frequently co-contraction) is used to switch between these two functions. In addition to requiring that these ...
