Active 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 کاملLiterature Review on Needs of Upper Limb Prosthesis Users
The loss of one hand can significantly affect the level of autonomy and the capability of performing daily living, working and social activities. The current prosthetic solutions contribute in a poor way to overcome these problems due to limitations in the interfaces adopted for controlling the prosthesis and to the lack of force or tactile feedback, thus limiting hand grasp capabilities. This ...
متن کاملActive upper limb prosthesis based on natural movement trajectories.
The motion of the current prostheses is sequential and does not allow natural movements. In this work, complex natural motion patterns from a healthy upper limb were characterized in order to be emulated for a trans-humeral prosthesis with three degrees of freedom at the elbow. Firstly, it was necessary to define the prosthesis workspace, which means to establish a relationship using an artific...
متن کاملDesign 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 کاملA sensory feedback system for an upper-limb amputation prosthesis.
A project to provide sensation from an upper-limb amputation prosthesis has been underway at Duke University since early 1971 . This was initially made possible through the generosity of Mrs . Carlton Hooks of Thomasville, North Carolina, who provided funds for a pilot study. Since December 1, 1972, the project has been aided by contract from the Veterans Administration with an expected termina...
