BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS IN ARM PROSTHETICS 􀂱 OBJECTIFYING OF FUNCTIONAL ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY WRIST FLEXION

Bertels, Thomas; Fiedler, Kerstin; Schmalz, Thomas (Myoelectric Symposium, 2008)

By means of flexion wrists the functionality of prosthetic fittings for upper extremities can be improved significantly. Objects can be manipulated more favourably. Furthermore an optimized gripping position allows an ...
ELECTROMECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF A COMPLETE ARM PROSTHESIS (EMAS)

Hill, Stewart Scotland; Binnie, T.D.; Gow, D. J. (Myoelectric Symposium, 2005)

A characterisation of a complete arm prosthesis is necessary to develop effective control. This is a description of the use of Lagrange methodology to describe the system and to optimise for motion control. The Lagrange ...
A SEVEN-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM ARM WITH UNIQUE SHOULDER FUNCTION

Williams, T. Walley III (Myoelectric Symposium, 2005)

The most advanced powered prosthetic arm in 2005 is the experimental seven-degree-of-freedom (DOF) arm prepared for a bilateral shoulder disarticulation patient at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. The major components ...
