Wilson, N R C , for an informal chat on a number of ideas stimulated by the conference some on historical developments and some on older concepts of prosthetics that might be applicable to today's manipulator problems. T h e following notes are an outline of some of those thoughts, which, as Dr. Murphy Propulsion Ofice, U S A E C , "to some extent represent our joint thinking, but the wilder id...

Scrotal surgery encompasses a wide-variety of surgical techniques for an even wider variety of indications. In this manuscript, we review our indications, techniques, and pit-falls for various reconstructive scrotal surgeries as-well-as surgical tips for placement of testicular prostheses. Penoscrotal webbing (PSW) is an abnormal, often-problematic distal insertion of scrotal skin onto the vent...

6 This article provides an overview of the physical components that 7 tend to be common to all neural prosthetic systems. It emphasizes 8 the biophysical factors that constrain the sophistication of those 9 interfaces. Specific applications to neural prosthetic systems for 10 sensory replacement and motor control are covered in PROSTHET11 ICS, SENSORY SYSTEMS and PROSTHETICS, MOTOR CONTROL, re1...

Upper extremity amputations are most frequently indicated by severe traumatic injuries. The location of the injury will determine the level of amputation. Preservation of extremity length is often a goal. The amputation site will have important implications on the functional status of the patient and options for prosthetic reconstruction. Advances in amputation techniques and prosthetic reconst...
