چکیده
Dur ing the last few years, development in upper l imb prosthetics has been focused on the use of external power. N o w the introduction of the endoskeletal structure of body-powered a rm prostheses requires completely new develop ments of such traditionally established designs as the mechanical elbow joint . The s tandard exoskeletal elbow requires for operat ion two control movements, one for flexion-extension

Background: Many researches have been conducted inorder to explore the ingredients of joint impairements like muscle spasticity and joint rigidity in which mechanical viscoelastic properties have been quantified during the joint movement. The aim of this study was to explore passive viscose and elastic properties at flexion and extension of the human elbow joint and to determine a mat...
متن کاملNatural Control of Triceps Stimulation Using FES
Individuals with C5/C6 spinal cord injury have paralyzed elbow extensors, yet retain weak to strong voluntary control of elbow flexion and shoulder function. Previous studies have shown that functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the triceps provides sufficient elbow extension strength and control to greatly improve function. With triceps stimulation applied at a constant level, elbow angle...
متن کاملLCP metaphyseal plate fixation for fractures of the distal third humeral shaft using brachialis splitting approach.
The authors retrospectively studied the clinical and radiographic outcomes of locking compressive plate (LCP) metaphyseal plate fixation through the anterolateral approach in patients treated surgically for unstable distal third humeral shaft fractures. Twenty seven patients were treated surgically with LCP metaphyseal plate using brachialis splitting methods through the anterolateral approach....
