KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF IMPAIRMENTS AND COMPENSATORY MOTOR BEHAVIOR DURING PROSTHETIC GRASPING IN BELOW-ELBOW AMPUTEES.

Kinematic analysis of impairments and compensatory motor behavior during prosthetic grasping in below-elbow amputees.

After a major upper limb amputation, the use of myoelectric prosthesis as assistive devices is possible.However, these prostheses remain quite difficult to control for grasping and manipulation of daily life objects.The aim of the present observational case study is to document the kinematics of grasping in a group of 10 below-elbow amputated patie
