Advances in neurophysiological and cognitive science research have fueled a surge of research aimed at more effectively combining human and machine capabilities. In this talk we will give and overview of progress and prospects for four current thrusts of technology development resulting from this research: brain-machine interfaces, robotic prostheses and orthotics, cognitive and sensory prosthe...

Support of living tissues by nondestructive external devices is essential in the fields of orthotics and prosthetics . In all areas of medical care for chronic illnesses, considerable effort is devoted to the creation of devices which are nondestructive to living tissue and yet accomplish their function of support when the neuromuscular skeletal system is inadequate because of disease or injury...

THE ROOTS OF MODERN motion analysis can be traced back to photographer Eadweard Muybridge who used his invention, the zoopraxiscope, to project sequential motions onto a screen so they appeared in motion. At the University of Pennsylvania, he studied animals and human volunteers. To gain insight into uncommon human motion he also recruited patients with physical disabilities from a nearby hospi...

This study aims to design a patient registration service application for the Prosthetics Orthotics Clinic at Health Polytechnic of Jakarta I. Several methods developing applications that were previously developed used waterfall method. In this study, it was designed using Rapid Application Development method with hope development process could be faster good results compared The result is forma...

extensive job stress and workload are main causes of frustration and reduced efficiency among workers and despite negative effects of these factors on employees' performance, related studies in rehabilitation staff are limited. the aim of this study was to evaluate job stress, workload and their related factors in rehabilitation staff. in this cross-sectional study, 150 employees in three ...

PURPOSE The purposes of this project were to assess the effect of four different shoe inserts on the path of the center of pressure (COP), to quantify the effect of these inserts on selected knee joint moments during running, and to assess the potential of COP data to predict the effects of inserts/orthotics on knee joint moments. METHODS Kinematics for the lower extremities, resultant ankle ...
