EVALUATION OF A PROTOTYPE ELECTRIC-POWERED PARTIAL-HAND PROSTHESIS
(2005)A prototype partial hand mechanism has been developed for fittings at the trans-metacarpal level. Subjects selected for evaluation of the prototype device have absence of all fingers of the affected hand, all or some portion ... -
Neurofuzzy Logic as a Control Algorithm for an Externally Powered Multifunctional Hand Prosthesis
(2002)We propose an algorithm based upon neurofuzzy technology. We believe that because of the inherent “fuzziness” of human activity, a control algorithm based on fuzzy logic may have advantages for multifunctional prosthesis ... -
REAL-TIME COMPUTER MODELING OF A PROSTHESIS CONTROLLER BASED ON EXTENDED PHYSIOLOGICAL PROPRIOCEPTION (EPP)
(2002)Proprioception utilizes the physiological components of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems to allow an individual to sense the position of their limbs subconsciously. By providing a rigid connection to an object this ... -
THE EFFECT OF CONTROLLER DELAY ON BOX AND BLOCK TEST PERFORMANCE
(2005)Multifunctional prosthesis controllers have shown higher classification accuracies when EMG feature extraction and pattern recognition are performed on time windows of longer duration [1] (see figure 1). However, there is ... -
The Prosthetics Needs Of Farmers And Ranchers With Upper-Limb Amputations
(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 ...
