1. 11. On sensory feedback in hand prostheses

   Författare :Christian Antfolk; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Prosthetic hands; sensory feedback.;

   Sammanfattning : Amputation of the hand implies the loss of the ability to grasp and the ability to "feel". The grasping function can be primitively restored using an active prosthesis. Multi­articulating electrically powered hands have recently made their way to the market and these hands provide enhanced grasping and gripping capabilities. LÄS MER

3. 12. Benefits and use of myoelectric arm prostheses : outcomes, influencing factors and experiences

   Författare :Cathrine Widehammar; Liselotte Hermansson; Kajsa Lidström-Holmqvist; Ingvor Pettersson; Kristin Østlie; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; upper limb; amputation; artificial limbs; rehabilitation; occupational therapy; environment; qualitative methods;

   Sammanfattning : People with acquired upper limb loss or congenital limb reduction deficiency are often offered a myoelectric prosthesis to compensate for the missing hand. A common problem is the non-use of prostheses, and lack of training has been suggested as a reason for this. LÄS MER

4. 13. Infections associated with percutaneous osseointegrated titanium implants for limb prostheses

   Författare :Jonatan Tillander; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; osteomyelitis; osseointegration; percutaneous implant; titanium; amputation; long-term risk; clinical presentation; biofilm;

   Sammanfattning : Femoral amputation is a devastating event. Percutaneous, bone anchored prosthetic systems reduce problems associated with socket suspended prostheses, but the design is inherently vulnerable to infection. LÄS MER

5. 14. Towards a tactile artifical hand

   Författare :Ulrika Wijk; Malmö Handkirurgi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amputation; upper limb; phantom hand map; sensory feedback; referred sensation; hand prosthesis; body ownership; tactile sensation;

   Sammanfattning : Amputation of a hand is a life-changing event, and the loss of motor and sensory functions leads to disability and has devastating effects on the individual. What is normally performed using two hands must be solved with only one, and the loss also affects body balance and body posture. LÄS MER

7. 15. Towards clinically viable neuromuscular control of bone-anchored prosthetic arms with sensory feedback

   Författare :Enzo Mastinu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electromyography; prosthetics; sensory feedback; closed-loop; osseointegration; embedded system; pattern recognition; neurostimulation;

   Sammanfattning : Promising developments are currently ongoing worldwide in the field of neuroprosthetics and artificial limb control. It is now possible to chronically connect a robotic limb to bone, nerves, and muscles of a human being, and to use the signals sourced from these connections to enable movements of the artificial limb.
