Background Understanding how prostheses are used in everyday life is central to the
design, provision and evaluation of prosthetic devices and associated services. This paper …

While the promise of wearable sensor technology to transform physical rehabilitation has
been around for a number of years, the reality is that wearable sensor technology for the …

Studies of the effectiveness of prosthetic hands involve assessing user performance on
functional tasks, typically collected in the lab, sometimes combined with self-report of real …

Background Upper limb dysfunctions are common and disabling in daily life. Accelerometer
data are commonly used to describe upper limb use. However, different data analyzing …

Analysis of the manipulation strategies employed by upper-limb prosthetic device users can
provide valuable insights into the shortcomings of current prosthetic technology or …

To detect various signals and motions from the human body, textile substrates having the
compatibility with human skin and high electrical/mechanical properties are strongly …

Abstract Knowledge of upper limb activity in the natural environment is critical for evaluating
the effectiveness of rehabilitation services. Wearable sensors allow efficient collection of …

The efferent control chain for an upper-limb myoelectric prosthesis can be separated into 3
key areas: signal generation, signal acquisition, and device response. Data were collected …

We investigated whether adding vibrotactile feedback to a myoelectric-controlled hand,
when visual feedback is disturbed, can improve performance during a functional test. For …

Trials for therapies after an upper limb amputation (ULA) require a focus on the real-world
use of the upper limb prosthesis. In this paper, we extend a novel method for identifying …
