Harness 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...
متن کاملThe biomechanics of control in upper-extremity prostheses.
1 Professor of Engineering, University of California, Los Angeles; member, Advisory Committee on Artificial Limbs, National Research Council, and of the Technical Committee on Prosthetics, ACAL, NRC. In the rehabilitation of the upper-extremity amputee, structural replacement by prosthetic arm and hand is an obvious requirement, and it poses a comparatively easy task; functional replacement by ...
متن کاملUpper-extremity Fes Systems – Control Methods
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a tool to enhance daily living activities in humans with motor and sensory paralysis of the hand and arm. Implantable technology provides substantial advantages over the surface stimulation assistive systems for grasping and reaching, but over all performances must be much improved in order to allow community functioning. Most FES systems inherently re...
متن کاملForce Myography to Control Robotic Upper Extremity Prostheses: A Feasibility Study
Advancement in assistive technology has led to the commercial availability of multi-dexterous robotic prostheses for the upper extremity. The relatively low performance of the currently used techniques to detect the intention of the user to control such advanced robotic prostheses, however, limits their use. This article explores the use of force myography (FMG) as a potential alternative to th...
