The design and development of an electromechanical adaptation for a Novel 3D printed functional hand prosthesis
… study was thus to design an electromechanical hand prosthesis that meets the functional and grasping requirements of prosthesis users. To this end, the Self-Actuated Tenim Hand (SATH), a functional electromechanically actuated prosthesis, was developed. The SATH, based on the novel body-driven …

Navy SEAL Prosthetic Hand
… mainly on myoelectrically controlled electric hands despite a majority of upper extremity amputees actively choosing body powered devices. Myoelectric hands utilize a small electric pulse generated in muscles when flexing as a signal to the hand to close. Finger flexion in these devices is …

Mitigating IPMC Back Relaxation Through Feedforward and Feedback Control of Patterned Electrodes
… strength could be increased for an IPMC-powered hand prosthesis, and IPMC-based underwater autonomous systems could have enhanced maneuvering. The contribution of this work is the use of sectored IPMCs to mitigate back relaxation. This class of IPMC typically uses patterned electrodes to produce …

Design of an affordable anthropomorphic mechanical prosthetic hand
… of an affordable anthropomorphic mechanical hand prosthesis. In many countries, upper-limb amputees lack access to prosthetic hand devices. Furthermore, currently available mechanical devices require a large amount of effort to actuate; fatiguing and frustrating patients who have no other …

An implantable micro-system for neural prosthesis control and sensory feedback restoration in amputees
… Nervous System (PNS) and a neuro-controlled hand prosthesis is presented. The system is composed of two Integrated Circuits (ICs): a standard CMOS device for neural recording and a High Voltage (HV) CMOS device for neural stimulation. The integrated circuits have been realized in two …

Acquisition systems and decoding algorithms of peripheral neural signals for prosthetic applications
… significant signals are generated and a motor prosthesis device able to perform the desired action. Moreover, the designed system must be able to give back to the brain a sensory feedback about the surrounding world in terms of pressure or temperature acquired by tactile biosensors placed at …

Social Construction of Technical Aids - Personal Meaning and Interactional Effects of Disability and Assistive Devices in Everyday Life
… theory study that showed an adaptation of stigma-handling strategies to situations in everyday life by women aged 20 to 30 with dysmelia, i.e. upper limb reduction deficiency. Strategies were comprehensive patterns of action aimed at controlling information about one’s status as deviating from a …
