Prostheses in Upper Limb Treatment: Recent Developivients
A trauma or congenital pathology may seriously compromise the performance of upper limbs from an operative standpoint and informally, tluough sensitivity. These special aspects show how difficult it is to develop an artificial limb capable to reply important functions, such as for example: eating, independence in the batluoom and so on In order to carry out a good treatment with orthopaedic dev...
متن کاملSensory feedback for upper limb prostheses.
In this chapter, we discuss the neurophysiological basis of how to provide sensory feedback to users with an upper limb prosthesis and discuss some of the theoretical issues that need to be considered when directly stimulating neurons in the somatosensory system. We focus on technologies that are currently available and discuss approaches that are most likely to succeed in providing natural per...
متن کاملVisual Cues to Improve Myoelectric Control of Upper Limb Prostheses
The instability of myoelectric signals over time complicates their use to control highly articulated prostheses. To address this problem, studies have tried to combine surface electromyography with modalities that are less affected by the amputation and environment, such as accelerometry or gaze information. In the latter case, the hypothesis is that a subject looks at the object he or she inte...
متن کاملColorimetric analysis of silicone cosmetic prostheses for upper-limb amputees.
Every year the Italian National Insurance Institute of Accidents on Work (INAIL) Prosthesis Centre manufactures more than 300 silicone cosmetic upper-limb prostheses that are aesthetically similar to patients' missing limbs; however, the prostheses have the following drawbacks: subjectivity in color choice, high production costs, and long time frames for patient tests and prosthesis production....
متن کاملNeural machine interfaces for controlling multifunctional powered upper-limb prostheses.
This article investigates various neural machine interfaces for voluntary control of externally powered upper-limb prostheses. Epidemiology of upper limb amputation, as well as prescription and follow-up studies of externally powered upper-limb prostheses are discussed. The use of electromyographic interfaces and peripheral nerve interfaces for prosthetic control, as well as brain machine inter...
