Technicians in dental prosthetics laboratories are exposed to environmental dust and various occupational health hazards, and therefore appropriate protection is necessary. This paper deals with assessment of safety mesures in dental prosthetics laboratories and aim of this work was to assess ten dental laboratories in Novi Sad using the multi-criteria analysis as a assessment tool. Multi-crite...

BACKGROUND Understanding of kinematics force applied at the elbow is important in many fields, including biomechanics, biomedical engineering and rehabilitation. This paper provides a comparison of a mathematical model of elbow joint using three different types of prosthetics for transhumeral user, and characterizes the forces required to overcome the passive mechanical of the prosthetics at th...

The VA Prosthetics Center Research and Development effort is organized along a time axis based on when clinically useful results from each project are expected . Each Project, supervised by a manager, may conduct research, development, and evaluation in prosthetics, orthotics or other areas. In one Project, Advanced Systems, for example, where results are not expected to reach clinical practice...

Human irises gain their appearance from a layered and highly complex structure that is difficult to model and render with conventional techniques. We present an approach that uses domain knowledge from the field of ocular prosthetics. In that field, ocularists create an artificial iris by painting many simple semi-transparent layers. We translate this methodology into a simple and effective too...

Neural prosthetics offer the promise of what was once unthinkable, the restoration of perceptive or movement ability in those who have lost it. But these devices offer much more than that. From September 23 through 25, 2010, researchers in all areas of the neural prosthetics field converged at the Building Better Brains: Neural Prosthetics and Beyond conference to examine ongoing work and the f...

Facial prosthetics has a long history that extends back to ancient man. The course of facial prosthetics has altered over time as improvement in surgical techniques and materials arrived. The need for facial prosthetics presumably also altered over time with social changes and changes in disease management. The past century has brought several remarkable changes that influenced the delivery of ...
