The low acceptability of current prosthetic devices can be attributed to the extensive psychological effort and the high cost associated with them. To address these concerns, an on-line slippage detector was developed using only inexpensive force sensors placed at the tips of a prototype hand. The prototype consists of a five fingered prosthetic hand consisting of active digits driven independe...

INTRODUCTION There are potential effects of vibration on aircrew performance and safety when using helmet-mounted equipment. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of head orientation and helmet center-of-gravity (CG) on head and helmet biodynamics and tracking performance during exposures to aircraft buffeting and quasi-random vibration. METHODS Three head orientations, incl...
