  2. 11. On the use of Phantom Motor Execution for the treatment of Phantom Limb Pain

    Author : Eva Lendaro; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Amputation; Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.; Phantom Limb Sensations; Phantom Limb Pain; Phantom Motor Execution;

    Abstract : Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a common complaint among amputees and despite having been studied for centuries, it remains a mysterious object of debate among researcher. To date, a vast number of ways to treat PLP has been proposed in the literature, however none of them has proven to be universally effective, thus creating uncertainty on how to operate clinically.

  4. 12. Touching on elements for a non-invasive sensory feedback system for use in a prosthetic hand

    Author : Pamela Svensson; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sensory feedback; amputation; referred sensation; non-invasive feedback; upper limb prosthetics; body ownership;

    Abstract : Hand amputation results in the loss of motor and sensory functions, impacting activities of daily life and quality of life. Commercially available prosthetic hands restore the motor function but lack sensory feedback, which is crucial to receive information about the prosthesis state in real-time when interacting with the external environment.

  5. 13. Investigating Phantom Motor Execution as treatment of Phantom Limb Pain

    Author : Eva Lendaro; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Randomized Controlled Trial; Phantom Limb Sensations; Phantom Limb Pain; EEG.; Phantom Motor Execution; Amputation;

    Abstract : Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) is commonly suffered by people with amputations and even though it has been studied for centuries, it remains a mysterious object of debate among researchers. For one thing, despite the vast number of proposed PLP treatments, no therapy has so far proved to be reliably effective. READ MORE

  6. 14. Benefits and use of myoelectric arm prostheses : outcomes, influencing factors and experiences

    Author : Cathrine Widehammar; Liselotte Hermansson; Kajsa Lidström-Holmqvist; Ingvor Pettersson; Kristin Østlie; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; upper limb; amputation; artificial limbs; rehabilitation; occupational therapy; environment; qualitative methods;

    Abstract : People with acquired upper limb loss or congenital limb reduction deficiency are often offered a myoelectric prosthesis to compensate for the missing hand. A common problem is the non-use of prostheses, and lack of training has been suggested as a reason for this. READ MORE
