Resistance training can be defined as the act of repeated voluntary muscle contractions
against a resistance greater than those normally encountered in activities of daily living …

Purpose. Prosthesis use and abandonment is a complex function of variables defining the
contextualized individual. This review presents a comprehensive panoramic of these factors …

OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether an increase in neural drive from the motor cortex
contributes to the cross-limb transfer of strength that can occur after unilateral strength …

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have documented motions of the upper limbs of healthy
subjects during activities of daily living. The aim of this study was to investigate …

Metzger AJ, Dromerick AW, Holley RJ, Lum PS. Characterization of compensatory trunk
movements during prosthetic upper limb reaching tasks. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the …

Bouwsema H, van der Sluis CK, Bongers RM. Learning to control opening and closing a
myoelectric hand. OBJECTIVE: To compare 3 different types of myoelectric signal training …

Background Little is known about action-perception learning processes underlying
prosthetic skills in body-powered prosthesis users. Body-powered prostheses are controlled …

Previous studies compared the effects of gradual and sudden adaptation on intermanual
transfer to find out whether transfer depends on awareness of the perturbation. Results from …

Background Significant advances have been made in developing new prosthetic
technologies with the goal of restoring function to persons that suffer partial or complete loss …

Background Regular body-powered (BP) prosthesis training facilitates the acquisition of
skills through repeated practice but requires adequate time and motivation. Therefore …
