DOI: 10.1080/00222895.2022.2070122
Abstract: Abstract Approaches to improve outcomes after upper-extremity amputation remain poorly understood. Examining prosthesis-use at different levels of loss elucidates motor control challenges. Non-amputated participants completed simple and complex reach-to-grasp actions using a body-powered transradial or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2023.2166979
Abstract: Abstract Background A body-powered functional and cosmetically appeasing hand with moving interphalangeal joints (IPJ-Hand) was created. Function and satisfaction with the IPJ-Hand, conventional hand (CH) and functional hook (FH) in trans-radial prosthesis users were evaluated.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09638288.2017.1312564
Abstract: Abstract Purpose: Whilst research tells us about the benefits and challenges of using prostheses, little attempt has been made to account for and provide explanations for the differing experiences of prosthesis users. In this study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/pxr.0000000000000142
Abstract: Background: Prosthesis design is complex and multiple appropriate options exist for any individual with lower-limb amputation. However, there is insufficient evidence for guiding decision-making. Shared decision-making (SDM) offers an opportunity to incorporate patient-specific values and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0271315
Abstract: While all lower limb prosthesis walkers have a high risk of tripping and/or falling, above knee prosthesis users are reported to fall more frequently. Recognising this, engineers designed microprocessor knees (MPK) to help mitigate these… read more here.
