Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted muscle reinnervation for real-time myoelectric control of multifunction artificial arms.

TL;DR: The results suggest that reinnervated muscles can produce sufficient EMG information for real-time control of advanced artificial arms, as well as improving the function of prosthetic arms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of targeted muscle reinnervation for improved myoelectric prosthesis control in a bilateral shoulder disarticulation amputee

TL;DR: A novel method for the control of a myoelectric upper limb prosthesis was achieved in a patient with bilateral amputations at the shoulder disarticulation level using the targeted muscle reinnervation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted reinnervation for enhanced prosthetic arm function in a woman with a proximal amputation: a case study

TL;DR: Targeted sensory reinnervation provides a potential pathway for meaningful sensory feedback to the missing hand and improved prosthetic function and ease of use in this patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of fluoxetine on functional outcomes after acute stroke (FOCUS): a pragmatic, double-blind, randomised, controlled trial

Martin Dennis, +1271 more

TL;DR: Although the treatment reduced the occurrence of depression, it increased the frequency of bone fractures and these results do not support the routine use of fluoxetine either for the prevention of post-stroke depression or to promote recovery of function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved Myoelectric Prosthesis Control Using Targeted Reinnervation Surgery: A Case Series

TL;DR: Targeted reinnervation is a surgical technique developed to increase the number of myoelectric input sites available to control an upper-limb prosthesis because signals from the nerves related to specific movements are used to control those missing degrees-of-freedom.
