Analysis of Information Remaining on Hand Held Devices Offered for Sale on the Second Hand Market
The ownership and use of mobile phones, Personal Digital Assistants and other hand held devices is now ubiquitous both for home and business use. The majority of these devices have a high initial cost, a relatively short period before they become obsolescent and a relatively low second hand value. As a result of this, when the devices are replaced, there are indications that they tend to be dis...
متن کاملCompensatory changes accompanying chronic forced use of the nondominant hand by unilateral amputees.
Amputation of the dominant hand forces patients to use the nondominant hand exclusively, including for tasks (e.g., writing and drawing) that were formerly the sole domain of the dominant hand. The behavioral and neurological effects of this chronic forced use of the nondominant hand remain largely unknown. Yet, these effects may shed light on the potential to compensate for degradation or loss...
متن کاملA new option for amputees: transplantation of the hand.
The permanent loss of a hand or limb results in significant challenges. A number of options are available to individuals who must deal with this loss, including reconstructive surgery using a person's own tissue to repair the damage or the use of prosthetic devices. We present an update on the most recent addition to the list of options, namely, composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA). In th...
متن کاملEnhanced Motor Imagery-Based BCI Performance via Tactile Stimulation on Unilateral Hand
Brain-computer interface (BCI) has attracted great interests for its effectiveness in assisting disabled people. However, due to the poor BCI performance, this technique is still far from daily-life applications. One of critical issues confronting BCI research is how to enhance BCI performance. This study aimed at improving the motor imagery (MI) based BCI accuracy by integrating MI tasks with ...
متن کاملDesign and technical construction of a tactile display for sensory feedback in a hand prosthesis system
BACKGROUND The users of today's commercial prosthetic hands are not given any conscious sensory feedback. To overcome this deficiency in prosthetic hands we have recently proposed a sensory feedback system utilising a "tactile display" on the remaining amputation residual limb acting as man-machine interface. Our system uses the recorded pressure in a hand prosthesis and feeds back this pressur...
