A soft cosmetic cover for use with modular endoskeletal prostheses is discussed. The reverse molding procedure, which is used to make a mirror image of a unilateral amputee's remaining anatomical limb, is described . This process reduces the time required to fabricate a cosmetic cover since no mechanical or artistic shaping is required to match the prosthetic limb to the anatomical limb. The re...

متن کاملTowards Intelligent Lower Limb Prostheses with Activity Recognition
User’s volitional control of lower limb prostheses is still challenging task despite technological advancements. There is still a need for amputees to impose their will upon the prosthesis to drive in an accurate and interactive fashion. This study represents a brief review on control strategies using different sensor modalities for the purpose of phases/events detection and activity recognitio...

Embolectomy has long been the gold standard for treating limbs acutely threatened by arterial occlusion.
