A Novel Research And Clinical Approach To Using Gel Liners For Collection Of Surface Myoelectric Signals For Prosthetic Control
(2011)For more than two decades, individuals with lower limb amputations have been successfully fitted with gel liners constructed from a variety of materials. Prosthetists have also reported moderate success with gel liners fit ... -
CAPTURING SHOULDER MOTION AS AN INPUT FOR EXTERNALLY-POWERED, SHOULDER DISARTICULATION PROSTHESES
(2008)Prosthetists have been fitting externally-powered components to individuals with “shoulder disarticulation”, upper extremity amputations for decades. These components have ranged from momentary contact switches that permitted ... -
Forequarter Prosthesis With Interchangeable Elbow, Forearm, And Hand
(1999)Fitting of individuals with forequarter amputations is often a challenging and fruitless effort. In order to provide optimum function for the patient, it is necessary to fit these individuals with either externally powered ... -
Hybrid Transradial Prosthesis For A Complete Brachial Plexus Injury: A Case Study
(1997)The gentleman in this case study presents with the typical etiology of a brachial plexus injury, status post motorcycle accident. The accident occurred several years ago with surgical intervention including a shoulder allograft ... -
Methods For Collecting Myoelectric Signals From Individuals With Lower Limb Amputations
(2011)Technological advancements in lower limb prostheses have resulted in actuated motors in both knees and ankles. Currently, these components are controlled by information measured from various electromechanical sensors attached ... -
Simple Solutions For A Complex Problem: Variations Of A Transradial Myoelectric Prosthetic Design
(1995)The prosthetic design being discussed is that of a tanstadial myoelectric, dual site-dual control system, The residual limb is, in this case, not the factor for variance of pi osthetic design, however, it is other extenuating ... -
Suction Socket Fitting For An Electronic Prosthesis Utilizing The Transhumeral Flex-Seal: A Case Study
(1997)Suction sockets for transfemoral prostheses have been in existence for many years but, individuals with upper extremity amputations have only recently been re-introduced to such advancements in prosthetic fittings. The gentleman ...
