▼ Transfemoral amputees suffer the loss of the knee and ankle joints, as well as partial or complete loss of many of the lower extremity muscle groups involved in ambulation. Recent advances in lower limb prostheses have involved the design of active, powered prosthetic knee and ankle-foot components capable of generating knee and ankle torques similar to that of normal gait. The associated onboard motors, conditioning/processing, and battery units of these active components result in increased mass of the respective prosthesis. While not an issue during stance, this increased mass of the prosthesis affects swing. The goal of this study is to develop and validate mathematical models of the transfemoral residual limb and prosthesis, expand these models to include an active ankle-foot, and investigate counter-mass magnitude(s) and location(s) via model optimization that might improve kinematic symmetry during swing. Single- (thigh only, shank only) and multi-segment (combined thigh and shank) optimization of counter-mass magnitudes and locations indicated that a 2.0 kg counter-mass added 8 cm distal and 10 cm posterior to the distal end of knee unit within the shank segment approximated knee kinematics of able-bodied subjects. This location, however, induced artificial hip torques that reduced hip flexion during swing. While such a counter-mass location and magnitude demonstrated theoretical potential, this location is not clinically realistic; mass can only be added within the prosthesis, distal to the residual limb. Clinically realistic counter-masses must also keep the total prosthetic mass to less than 5 kg; greater mass requires supplemental prosthetic suspension, would likely increase energy expenditure during ambulation, and contribute to increased likelihood of fatigue even with active prosthetic components. The ability to simulate the effects of active prosthetic components inclusive of varying placement of battery and signal conditioning units may advance the design of active prostheses that will minimize kinematic asymmetry and result in greater patient acceptance.

This paper describes the implementation a low cost hand prosthesis, a mechanism constituted by sixteen degrees of freedom, five articulated fingers individually, driven by mechanical tendons. Its structure was made in a 3D printer. For the man-machine interfacing, a shield was developed which performs the acquisition of electromyographic signals, with two channels, SD card storage and an electronic system able to generate a database of movements made by the human hand. The Arduino platform was used for processing and programming. The system contains an app with a programmable drive and insertion movements protocol, providing independence to the user. Tests were conducted in which the implemented system performed movements, after storing various functional hand movements. This was possible due to the development of an algorithm capable of recognizing, quantifying and storing the signals produced by muscle contractions. The implemented active prosthesis worked well for patients with congenital deformity and amputee. The total value of the mechanical and electronic components required to implement the active prosthesis and the use of free hardware and software contribute to the low cost of the device.

Neste trabalho, descreve-se a implementação de uma prótese de mão biônica de baixo custo, constituída por um mecanismo com dezesseis graus de liberdade, cinco dedos articulados individualmente, acionados por tendões mecânicos. Sua estrutura foi fabricada em impressora 3D. Para o interfaceamento homem-máquina foi desenvolvido um shield, que realiza a aquisição de sinais eletromiográficos, com dois canais, armazenamento em cartão SD e um sistema eletrônico capaz de gerar um banco de dados com movimentos realizados pela mão humana. Foi utilizada a plataforma Arduino para processamento e programação. O sistema contém um aplicativo com protocolo de acionamento programável e inserção de movimentos, proporcionando independência ao usuário. Foram realizados testes nos quais o sistema implementado executou movimentos, após armazenar vários movimentos funcionais da mão. Isso foi possível devido ao desenvolvimento de um algoritmo capaz de reconhecer, quantificar e armazenar os sinais produzidos pelas contrações dos músculos. A prótese ativa implementada funcionou adequadamente para paciente com deformidade congênita e para paciente amputado. O valor total dos componentes mecânicos e eletrônicos necessários para implementar a prótese ativa e a utilização de hardwares e softwares livres contribuem para que o custo do dispositivo seja reduzido.

▼ This thesis concerns the role of disability and assistive devices in everyday life among persons with, for instance, impairments related to mobility (e.g. wheelchair users) and bodily shape and configuration (e.g. dysmelia). Assistive devices are seen as both includators (assisting participation and emancipation) and excludators (limiting participation, restraining empowerment, and stigmatizing). Perspectives include, for instance, stigmatisation, body-image, coping, empowerment, agency, motivation, needs, and everyday life. Use of assistive devices is discussed from the ValMO-model: Value and Meaning in Human Occupations. The discussion concerns the useworthiness, as opposed to usability, of assistive devices from a perspective of not only physics-based effectiveness (Newton), but also from a self-image and agency perspective based on habitus (Bourdieu). In study I, the experience of prescription of active rigid-frame ultra light-weight wheelchairs was reported, using data on 278 prescribers in Sweden. Prescribers emphasised self-image, design, appearance and aesthetics. Even though prescribers want to prescribe an optimal wheelchair, they may lack the possibility to do so due to: (1) lack of practice and specialized knowl-edge; and (2) narrow regulations, both pertaining to municipal political decisions. Study II describes the experience of active wheelchairs and societal provision thereof utilizing thematic qualitative content analysis of eleven interviews with experienced users in Sweden. Results showed users experiencing injustice and unfairness negoti-ating wheelchair needs in terms of physical and social functioning (agency); changes of attitudes/organization are suggested. Study III was grounded theory study that showed an adaptation of stigma-handling strategies to situations in everyday life by women aged 20 to 30 with dysmelia, i.e. upper limb reduction deficiency. Strategies were comprehensive patterns of action aimed at controlling information about one’s status as deviating from a contextual normality. A proofing or being attitude consti-tuted a contextual adaptation understood in terms of a concealing or revealing tactic, aiming at delaying or promoting exposure to contextual attitudes and possible prejudices. If exposure was delayed, a person with dysmelia blended in. Exposure could be voluntary or imposed. After exposure, the relative importance of TULRD in the specific context could decrease, thus a boost of an amplification or altering of the attitude, i.e. boost was the interactional outcome enforcing the choice of strategy in another context.

▼ Extracellular neural recording is an important technique for advancing understanding of brain tissue organization, for enhanced diagnosis and treatment of CNS-related disorders, and for the design of neural prosthetic devices. This thesis describes continued development of active, micromachined silicon thin-film electrode arrays for chronic multiple single-unit CNS recording and investigates the recording capabilities of such structures. These electrode arrays utilize a heavily doped (p⁺⁺), 15μm-thick silicon substrate which supports 32 electrodes. They have been integrated with 3 μm CMOS circuitry for electronic recording site positioning (via a 32:8 switch matrix), amplification of the neural signals (in-band ac gain of 300, 100 Hz-7 kHz; dc gain <1), reduction of channel output impedances (<500 Ω), and multiplexing of the recordings from selected sites onto a single output lead. A number of challenges in the application of these active devices have been overcome, including the development of an encapsulation scheme which protects the integrated circuits from the micromachining etchants and from the extracellular fluid. Stress-compensated, 0.75 μm-thick LPCVD dielectrics provide protection above and below polysilicon electrode interconnects, while 1 μm of planarizing low temperature (420\sp∘C) oxide is used over aluminum interconnect in the circuit areas. Additional layers of PECVD nitride, metal and silicone can be added for enhanced chemical, electrical, and optical protection. The resulting process allows batch fabrication of the sensors with high yield and permits operation of both the transducers and circuitry in a challenging environment. A PC-based software interface for communication between the active probe and the user was developed which allowed the first successful neural recordings from any active electrode array. These recordings are comparable to recordings obtained via other methods in terms of signal-to-noise ratios (3:1 and better) and unit discriminability. This work also describes the investigation of a number of issues unique to active recording, such as optical noise sensitivity, input bias stability, baseline drift, referencing, and mixed analog-digital signal concerns associated with the sampling of low-level (100 μV) signals. Finally, the various circuit blocks required for active recording, their influence on recording ability, and design modifications for more successful active recording are addressed.
