Abstract:
Raccoons have been widely used for neurobiological research and with respect to paw (hand) use have been 'considered' to be primates because they display highly developed skilled hand use. Their exceptional manipulatory ability is puzzling from an evolutionary perspective both because they belong to a taxon that is divergent from primates and because most members of their taxon are not especially skilled. Surprisingly, there has been no systematic investigation of their manipulatory ability. This was the purpose of the present study. Captive and zoo-housed raccoons were video recorded during f

Abstract:
Hand loss profoundly impacts daily functioning. Reversal of amputation through hand replantation or transplantation offers an alternative to prosthetics for some. Whether recipients exhibit more extensive and natural limb use during everyday life than prosthesis users is, however, unknown. We asked unilateral, below-elbow amputees (N = 22), hand graft recipients (transplants N = 4; replants N = 2), and healthy matched controls (N = 20) to wear wireless accelerometers distally on their forearms/prostheses and proximally on their upper arms. These units captured limb activity over 3 days within

Abstract:
The use of hands for gathering rich sensory information is essential for proper interaction with the environment; therefore, the restoration of sensation is critical for reestablishing the sense of embodiment in hand amputees. Here, we show that a noninvasive wearable device can be used to provide thermal sensations on amputees’ phantom hands. The device delivers thermal stimuli to specific regions of skin on their residual limb. These sensations were phenomenologically similar to those on the intact limbs and were stable over time. Using the device, the subjects could successfully exploit the

Introduction: Cerebral palsy is one of the common causes of disability in children due to brain damage. For this reason, children with cerebral palsy should be placed in a rehabilitation process suitable for their age and developmental stage. There are various treatment approaches to improve the condition of children with cerebral palsy. However, there are few approaches that specifically focus on both the upper and lower limbs. In the meantime, two-hand intensive hand-arm therapy including the lower limbs was proposed as an approach that can focus on the upper and lower limbs. It also affects

Background Despite the growing availability of multifunctional prosthetic hands, users’ control and overall functional abilities with these hands remain limited. The combination of pattern recognition control and targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) surgery, an innovative technique where amputated nerves are transferred to reinnervate new muscle targets in the residual limb, has been used to improve prosthesis control of individuals with more proximal upper limb amputations (i.e., shoulder disarticulation and transhumeral amputation).

Abstract:
Upper limb amputation is a significant limitation for achieving routine activities. Myoelectric signals detected by electrodes well-known as Electromyography (EMG) have been targeted to control upper limb prostheses of such lost limbs. Unfortunately, the acquisition, processing and use of such myoelectric signals are sophisticated. Furthermore, it necessarily requires complex computation to fulfil accuracy, robustness, and time-consumption execution for the real-time prosthesis application. Thus, machine learning schemes for pattern recognition are a potential approach to improve the tradition

Currently available upper-limb prostheses do not meet the needs or aspirations of the amputee. Many technical challenges have been given as the limiting factors on the further development of these prostheses. Generally developments have occurred as incremental developments on three existing moderately successful archetypes; the cosmetic, body-powered and myoelectric prostheses. Continued development on these archetypes appears to be further separating prostheses into those primarily considered cosmetic and those primarily considered functional.

Abstract:
Hand dominance is the preferential use of one hand over the other for motor tasks. 90% of people are right-hand dominant, and the majority of injuries (acute and cumulative trauma) occur to the dominant limb, creating a double-impact injury whereby a person is left in a functional state of single-handedness and must rely on the less-dexterous, non-dominant hand. When loss of dominant hand function is permanent, a forced shift of dominance is termed injury-induced hand dominance transfer (I-IHDT).

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: What is the effect of the use of technology for humanized nursing care in adults? Present a synthesis of knowledge about the elements that are part of humanized care and the use of technology. Condition being studied: Although technology can be a valuable tool to improve nursing care, it can also present some challenges for humanized care. Some of them may be, on the one hand, the lack of human contact, due to excessive use of technology, which may result in a decrease in personal interaction between the patient and the nurse, affecting the quality of care and pati
