If you're over 30, you probably walked to school, played on the monkeybars, learned to high-dive at the public pool. If you're younger, it's unlikely you did any of these things. Has the world become that much more dangerous? ...

The drive for continuous improvement led the ADP to recognize the need to develop a more in-depth myoelectric training program. A physiotherapist with specialized training in biofeedback was consulted on two cases

In the current study, preliminary testing has indicated that a suitably processed electromyography (EMG) signal is sensitive enough to display changes in muscle activity in a normal population due to changes in oithotic ...

Perhaps more than anything, amputees want to engage in normal activities of daily living without attracting attention to their disability. Their best hope of achieving this is with a lifelike prosthesis that operates by ...
