Design and Development of a Novel Upper-Limb Cycling Prosthesis
The rise in popularity of the Paralympics in recent years has created a need for effective, low-cost sports-prosthetic devices for upper-limb amputees. There are various opportunities for lower-limb amputees to participate in cycling; however, there are only few options for those with upper-limb amputations. If the individual previously participated in cycling, a cycling-specific prosthesis cou...
متن کاملActive Prosthesis for Upper Limb
Only few artificial limbs for total upper arm replacement includes other active joints than those of hand and elbow. The main cause is the difficulty to the set up the limb command system. Some components of artificial upper arm have been recently designed and built by the our research group. The full arm consists of a two active axes shoulder and a single axis elbow, plus a commercial hand. Th...
متن کاملLower limb prosthesis: final prototype release and control setting methodologies
The current research activity on prostheses project at the Robotics Laboratory (Mechanics Department, Politecnico di Milano) is carried on in cooperation with Centro Protesi INAIL and STMicroelectronics. The team is both innovative and interesting, owing to the fact that it not only involves a range of specialists but also gives rise to interdisciplinary aspects. They are absolutely essential i...
متن کاملReliability of Upper Limb Neurodynamic Tests: Median, Radial and Ulnar Nerves
Objective: in the evaluation of peripheral nerves, upper limb neurodynamic tests are used to assess the mechanical sensitivity of the nerve. However, very little is known about the reliability of upper limb neurodynamic tests, especially for the radial and ulnar nerves. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of neurodynamic tests of the upper extremities including median, radial ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Prosthesis Architectures and Design of Prosthetic Devices for Upper Limb Amputees
This chapter presents a procedure for the Determination of the Optimal Prosthesis Architecture for upper limb amputees (DOPA). The presented approach can consistently manage both the clinical aspects and the technical issues involved in the design of electromechanically actuated prostheses. The procedure is composed on one hand of algorithms useful for analyzing the patients’ requirements and o...
