Prosthetic

A prosthetic is an artificial body part, added to any living organism in order to replace a damaged body part, enhance a body part or provide a permanent new capability for the being.

Prosthetics are used in humans in the main to reduce disability, although as technology continues to advance there are moves towards using them to augment the body over the natural norms. Additionally several prosthetic directions such as neuroprosthetics, are used increasingly as VR and AR interface methods.

Large Image Display: Teeth Designed for Prosthetic Jaws
The difficulties of implanting a prosthesis deep into the body don't end when the prosthetic is in-place and working. You have to think about the systems that depended on the piece that was removed, to function properly. In the case of a prosthetic jaw, what do you do about the teeth?

You Tube of the first haptic, bionic arm versus a non-haptic
A comparison. Two women, both with prosthetic limbs. On the left, a standard prosthetic. On the right, a haptic prosthetic giving touch feedback. Who can complete the task faster, and is there much difference?

Resource List: 2007 Timeline: Prosthetic Developments

AS 2007 draws to a close, this timeline chronicles some of the most landmark developments in prosthetic implants and prosthetic limb technology in 2007.

Infection-Proof Prosthetic Paw
A Belgian German Shepard dog called Storm, has become the first person to be fitted with a prosthetic implant which fits into the bone and sticks through the skin with no risk of infection to the animal.

Augmented Reality Hip Replacement
Usually, creation of a prosthetic limb errs on the lighter side, sacrificing capability for lightness. This is because until now, it has not been possible to examine the surviving bone in enough detail to safely screw a prosthetic into the bone.

Scientists Set Sights on an Implantable Prosthetic for the Blind

In March 2008, a Massachusetts General Hospital neuroscientist announced designs for a prosthetic to bypass eyes and optic nerves and send image information directly to the regions of the brain that processes visual signals.

5 Year old Gains Prosthetic Legs
A five year old British girl who had her all of her outer limbs amputated due to meningitis has become the youngest person to benefit from a pair of intelligent prosthetic legs.

Prosthetic Arms: State of the Art, 4th Q 2007
Prosthetic arm development?s rapid pace is one of the very few good things to have come out of the conflict between western societies and the Middle East. In one year, they have lept from simple claws, to arms capable of picking up a skittle and passing to the wearer?s mouth.

Podcast: Dean Kamen: New prosthetic arm for veterans
Part of a talk from TED 2007, in which Dean Kamen introduced the rationale behind, decisions leading up to and creation of the first real advance in prosthetic arms since the US civil war; the original version of the Luke Arm.

The Luke Arm at All Things Digital 2008
Luke Arm is named after Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, and more specifically, after the prosthetic hand the character is fitted with, that so perfectly mimics biological functionality. Within this article are three videos, showcasting the prosthetic in action, and a talk by its creator, Dean Kamen.
