The Study of Compensatory Motions While Using a Transradial Prosthesis
… a dynamic wrist component may cause awkward compensatory motion leading to fatigue, injury or rejection of the prosthesis. This work analyzed the movements of shoulder, elbow and torso during four tasks: drinking from a cup, opening a door, lifting a box and turning a steering wheel. The main …

Modeling Upper Body Kinematics While Using a Transradial Prosthesis
… limb amputations today offer a limited range of motion. Relative to anatomical joints transradial (below the elbow) prosthesis users lose at least two of the three degrees of freedom provided by the wrist and forearm. Some myoeletric prostheses currently allow for forearm pronation and supination …

Horizontal plane head and trunk motion during locomotion
… strategies used by subjects. The first was a compensatory strategy where head movements were equal and opposite to trunk movements. This was used at higher frequencies of trunk movement and at high and low frequencies during frequency, amplitude, and phase. The second was a non-compensatory …
