Introduction A key determinant of prosthesis use is the quality of fit of the prosthetic socket.
The socket surrounds the residual limb and applies the appropriate force distribution to the …

Purpose: This review was conducted to provide an overview of current literature as it relates
to upper limb difference, available componentry, and prosthetic options and design …

Sensor systems to measure pressure at the stump–socket interface of transfemoral
amputees are receiving increasing attention as they allow monitoring to evaluate patient …

Upper limb prostheses are commonly mounted to the human residual limb by a passive
socket. By this design, the sensitive residual limb is exposed to high reaction wrenches …

The majority of limb prostheses are socket mounted. For these devices, the socket is
essential for adequate prosthetic suspension, comfort, and control. The socket is unique …

One major challenge in designing a spacesuit to safely accommodate its wearer is the
inability to study interactions between the wearer and the suit. The current work presents …

Novel myoelectric control strategies may yield more robust, capable prostheses which
improve quality of life for those affected by upper-limb loss; however, the development and …

A continuing problem faced by amputees is that extended use of a prosthesis leads to
discomfort along the residual limb. In this work, we use a novel pressure sensor array and …

This study aims to develop a flexible and thin tactile sensor that can capture the contact
pressure distribution on the human body. We, therefore, propose a contact resistance-based …

Abstract The Fit4Purpose project aims to develop upper limb prosthetic devices which are
suitable for deployment in lower-and middle-income countries (LMIC's). Open-frame trans …
