Grip Force Feedback in an Electric Hand - Preliminary Results
(2008)
Feedback of sensation has long been the dream of developers (and wearers) of prosthetic
hands,
and many earlier efforts have made progress, but never a practical commercially-available
system.
Although grip force feedback ...
Cable Driven Multi-Articulating Fingers, Providing Compliant Grasp For The Partial Hand Amputee.
(2008)
This article will describe a new concept in fitting the partial hand amputee to offer
them
enhanced grasp and improve their overall functional ability with the prosthesis. The
concept is to activate the mechanical fingers ...
Multi-articulating Hands & Fingers – Technical Strategies for Improved Patient Function and Myoelectric Uptake
(2008)
Since the commercial release of the i-LIMB Hand in September 2007, and the
subsequent R&D release of ProDigits for partial hand users, there has been much
interest from clinical professionals – to date (18 March 2008), ...
Compliant Hands: The Next Evolution of the Prosthetic Hand
(2008)
While the last 10 years have brought significant advancements to the upper extremity
prosthetic patient population, the function of prosthetic terminal devices has been
limited
by their inability to mimic the myriad grasping ...
DESIGN AND PRELIMINARY EXPERIENCE WITH FLUIDHAND MK III
(2008)
The third generation of the fluidic hand currently is in the process of clinical
trial. The new hand combines functionality and cosmesis. It has the natural shape
of a human hand and multiple new functions. The grasping ...
Experience with Electric Prostheses for the Partial Hand Presentation
(2008)
Limb deficiency distal to the wrist represents a common presentation, yet a
difficult level to treat with a functional prosthesis. (1) Historically, prosthetic
treatment
has been limited due to the lack of acceptable electric ...
ANALYSIS OF FINGER POSITION DURING TWO AND THREE-FINGERED GRASP: POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS FOR TERMINAL DEVICE DESIGN
(2008)
Analysis of human hand kinesiology has been used to justify the
design characteristics of terminal devices. The human hand is a complex mechanical
structure consisting of 15 articulations controlled by over 30 muscles ...
THE WILMER PASSIVE HAND PROSTHESIS FOR TODDLERS
(2008)
The WILMER Passive Hand Prosthesis is developed for children aged one through five
years. This harnessless hand prosthesis aims primarily at giving the child two arms
of
equal length. The hand features an easy to control ...
Michelangelo 03 - A versatile hand prosthesis, featuring superb controllability and sophisticated bio mimicry
(2008)
Rapid progress has been made recently in all components of upper limb myoelectric
prosthetics, and revolutionary new concepts in controlling these devices are part
of ongoing
R&D activities. Nevertheless there is a need ...
