An arm amputation is extremely invalidating since many of our daily tasks require bi-manual and precise control of hand movements. Perfect hand prostheses should therefore offer a natural, intuitive and cognitively simple control over their…
Accurate and rapid detection of gait phases is of utmost importance in achieving optimal performance of powered lower-limb prostheses and exoskeletons. With the increasing versatility and complexity of these robotic systems, there is a…
Bypass sockets allow researchers to perform tests of prosthetic systems from the prosthetic user's perspective. We designed a modular upper-limb bypass socket with 3D-printed components that can be easily modified for use with a variety of…
Wireless power transmission (WPT) is a critical technology that provides a secure alternative mechanism for wireless power and communication with implantable medical devices. WPT approaches for implantable medical devices have been utilized…
Despite decades of research and development, myoelectric prosthetic hands lack functionality and are often rejected by users. This lack in functionality can be partially attributed to the widely accepted anthropomorphic design ideology in…
Electromyography (EMG) signals are obtained from muscle cell activity. The recording and analysis of EMG signals has several applications. The EMG is of diagnostic importance for treating patients suffering from neurological and…
Tuning active prostheses for people with amputation is time-consuming and relies on metrics that may not fully reflect user needs. We introduce a human-in-the-loop optimization (HILO) approach that leverages direct user preferences to…
Surface electromyography (s-EMG) sensors are a promising way to control upper-limb prostheses. However a training session is necessary in order to set up the controller that will make s-EMG based movement possible. All data recorded during…
Lower limb amputees often suffer skin and tissue problems from using their prosthesis which is a challenging biomechanical problem. The finite element method (FEM) has previously been applied to analyse internal mechanical conditions of the…
The increase in world elderly population has significantly underlined the need for continuous health care measurement, specifically in rehabilitation monitoring. The new technologies has enabled people to have in home healthcare services,…
Typical leg exoskeletons employ open-loop kinematic chains with motors placed directly on movable joints; while this design offers flexibility, it leads to increased costs and heightened control complexity due to the high number of degrees…
Medical robotics includes assistive devices used by the physician in order to make his/her diagnostic or therapeutic practices easier and more efficient. This chapter focuses on such systems. It introduces the general field of…
Autonomous implantable bioelectronics rely on wireless connectivity, necessitating highly efficient electromagnetic (EM) radiation systems. However, limitations in power, safety, and data transmission currently impede the advancement of…
The creation of unique control methods for a hand prosthesis is still a problem that has to be addressed. The best choice of a human-machine interface (HMI) that should be used to enable natural control is still a challenge. Surface…
Current control strategies for powered lower limb prostheses often lack awareness of the environment and the user's intended interactions with it. This limitation becomes particularly apparent in complex terrains. Obstacle negotiation, a…
This paper introduces a novel AI vision-enabled pediatric prosthetic hand designed to assist children aged 10-12 with upper limb disabilities. The prosthesis features an anthropomorphic appearance, multi-articulating functionality, and a…
Prosthesis users can regain partial limb functionality, however, full natural limb mobility is rarely restored, often resulting in compensatory movements that lead to discomfort, inefficiency, and long-term physical strain. To address this…
Prosthetic limb abandonment remains an unsolved challenge as amputees consistently reject their devices. Current prosthetic designs often fail to balance human-like perfomance with acceptable device weight, highlighting the need for…
State-of-the-art upper limb myoelectric prostheses often use pattern recognition (PR) control systems that translate electromyography (EMG) signals into desired movements. As prosthesis movement complexity increases, users often struggle to…
Electromyogram (EMG) signals recorded from the skin surface enable intuitive control of assistive devices such as prosthetic limbs. However, in EMG-based motion recognition, collecting comprehensive training data for all target motions…
