Spring 2019
Upper limb amputation is a debilitating condition that affects over 41,000 people in the United States alone. Largely because of limitations in wrist prostheses, many people affected by upper limb amputation are compelled to use compensatory movements to perform tasks of daily living, which often...

Development and Integration of Tactors onto a Prosthetic Socket for Tactile Sensory Feedback in Upper Limb Amputees
DownloadSpring 2016
Myoelectric prostheses have recently undergone extensive developments in their complexity and movement patterns, yet controlling these devices can be difficult as they lack the sensory feedback provided by traditional body powered prostheses. With targeted sensory reinnervation surgery, sensory...

Learning to Partner: Exploring Real-Time Adaptive Feedback via Temporal-Difference Machine Learning for Improved Human-Prosthesis Collaboration
DownloadFall 2024
Modern myoelectric artificial limbs are sophisticated devices with many of the degrees of freedom of biological limbs. These devices have great potential to provide function for people with amputations, assisting them in participating in a greater number of activities and tasks of daily...

Fall 2019
Introduction: State-of-the-art upper limb prosthetic devices are complex, with multi-articulating hands that can open and close on user command. These so-called myoelectric prostheses harness the signals of a user’s residual muscles to trigger a desired function, such as grasping an object....

Prosthetic sockets are widely known as the most important part of a prosthetic. In this study, the feasibility of lyocell/EcoPoxy braided composite is examined in its use in a prosthetic socket. By comparing different known physical properties of lyocell/EcoPoxy to materials normally used, such...
