Optimizing strap designs of upper limb prostheses

The precise positioning design of upper limb prostheses is important for patients with upper limb disability. In this study, we propose an upper limb prosthesis with a negative pressure design. Mechanical analysis is performed to obtain the force and moment equilibrium equations. Then, the individua...
