Immediate Postsurgical Management of Upper- Extremity Amputation: Conventional, Electric and Myoelectric Prosthesis
Approximately 6-10,000 upper-extremity amputations are performed each year in the U n i t e d S t a t e s ( 6 , 9 , 1 8 ) . S u c c e s s f u l r e h a b i l i t a t i o n a f t e r u p p e r e x t r e m i t y amputation has significant economic impact both to the amputee and society, since most upper-extremity injuries occur in young working males (5,11). Although the success rates for fingert...
متن کاملMyoelectric Prosthetic Components for the Upper Limb
When Policy Topic is covered Myoelectric upper limb prosthetic components may be considered medically necessary when the following conditions are met: The patient has an amputation or missing limb at the wrist or above (forearm, elbow, etc.); AND Standard body-powered prosthetic devices cannot be used or are insufficient to meet the functional needs of the individual in performing activitie...
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 کاملAn Upper-Limb Power-Assist Exoskeleton Using Proportional Myoelectric Control
We developed an upper-limb power-assist exoskeleton actuated by pneumatic muscles. The exoskeleton included two metal links: a nylon joint, four size-adjustable carbon fiber bracers, a potentiometer and two pneumatic muscles. The proportional myoelectric control method was proposed to control the exoskeleton according to the user's motion intention in real time. With the feature extraction proc...
متن کاملUsing Augmented Reality Techniques to Simulate Myoelectric Upper Limb Prostheses
This article proposes the use of Augmented Reality (AR) as an aiding tool for the helping patients to operate and properly control myoelectric upper limb prostheses. The overall aim of this work is to reproduce the operation of a real prosthesis in an immersive AR environment, using a virtual device that operates in similar fashion to the real one, resulting in a training environment for users ...
