Upper extremity prosthetics: current status, challenges and future directions
There is a drastic increment of the demand for prosthetic devices over the last few decades. This is caused by the increased amputees because of casualties due to civil wars, injuries due to accidents, etc. Therefore, the robotic prostheses are one of the highly interested research areas in recent robotic research. The target is to make sure the amputee gets a better chance to interact with the...
متن کاملHarness patterns for upper-extremity prostheses.
1 Chief, Research Limb Section, Army Prosthetics Research Laboratory, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, D. C, The comparatively recent development of more functional components for artificial arms has made it necessary to analyze in greater detail the requirements of harnessing the power needed for effective operation. Just as an automobile is helpless without a well-designed and wel...
متن کاملPorous plastic laminates for upper extremity prostheses.
THE problem of perspiration and its removal from the amputee's arm and leg stumps encased in sockets has engaged the attention of the doctor and limb fitter for as long as limbs have been fitted. In the early days of leather prostheses, a few months of wear during the summer were sufficient to cause the leather to rot and degrade because of perspiration. Since it was not possible to wash leathe...

The evaluation of the results of spreader graft is difficult and subjective. Measuring nasal valve angle is an objectie criteria of functional outcome, the brow tip aesthetic lines referred by Tardy and Sheen are options for aesthetic evaluation. Our common indi...
متن کاملFunctional Latissimus Dorsi Transfer for Upper-Extremity Reconstruction: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Objective: The latissimus dorsi flap is a workhorse for plastic surgeons, being used for many years for soft-tissue coverage of the upper extremity as well as for functional reconstruction to restore motion to the elbow and shoulder. The authors present a case of functional latissimus dorsi transfer for restoration of elbow flexion and review the literature on technique and outcomes. Methods: A...
