11. On sensory feedback in hand prostheses
Abstract : Amputation of the hand implies the loss of the ability to grasp and the ability to "feel". The grasping function can be primitively restored using an active prosthesis. Multiarticulating electrically powered hands have recently made their way to the market and these hands provide enhanced grasping and gripping capabilities. READ MORE

12. 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

13. Infections associated with percutaneous osseointegrated titanium implants for limb prostheses
Abstract : Femoral amputation is a devastating event. Percutaneous, bone anchored prosthetic systems reduce problems associated with socket suspended prostheses, but the design is inherently vulnerable to infection. READ MORE

14. Towards a tactile artifical hand
Abstract : Amputation of a hand is a life-changing event, and the loss of motor and sensory functions leads to disability and has devastating effects on the individual. What is normally performed using two hands must be solved with only one, and the loss also affects body balance and body posture. READ MORE

15. Towards clinically viable neuromuscular control of bone-anchored prosthetic arms with sensory feedback
Abstract : Promising developments are currently ongoing worldwide in the field of neuroprosthetics and artificial limb control. It is now possible to chronically connect a robotic limb to bone, nerves, and muscles of a human being, and to use the signals sourced from these connections to enable movements of the artificial limb.
