7. The Assessment of Capacity for Myoelectric Control : Psychometric evidence and comparison with upper limb prosthetic outcome measures
Abstract : Evaluation of outcomes using validated prosthetic outcome measures (OMs) is a current priority in upper limb (UL) prosthetics, and OMs with psychometric evidence toward UL prosthesis users are thus necessary. The “Assessment of Capacity for Myoelectric Control” (ACMC) is a tool that assesses the ability to control a myoelectric prosthetic hand. READ MORE

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

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

10. Prosthetic fitting : stump-socket interaction in transtibial amputees
Abstract : This thesis is comprised of five different studies, all concerning the interaction between the transtibial amputation stump and the prosthetic socket. The aim was to analyse some of the factors influencing this interaction.CAD CAM (Computer Aided Design Computer Aided Manufacturing) and roentgen were used as measuring instruments. READ MORE
