Beschreibung

Powered Prostheses: Design, Control, and Clinical Applications presents the state-of-the-art in design, control and application of assistive technologies used in rehabilitation, including powered prostheses used in lower and upper extremity amputees and orthosis used in the rehabilitation of various joint disorders. The progress made in this field over the last decade is so vast that any new researcher in this field will have to spend years digesting the main achievements and challenges that remain. This book provides a comprehensive vision of advances, along with the challenges that remain on the path to the development of true bionic technology. - Describes the latest assistive technologies that can help individuals deal with joint pain or limb loss - Presents a tangible and intuitive description of scientific achievements made - Highlights the existing technologies and devices that are available and used by amputees or patients with mobility limitations - Suggests solutions and new results that can further enhance assistive technologies
