Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterScientificpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the mechatronic components of active prosthetics and will give an overview of various design approaches, hardware interfacing solutions, and end-effector options. It describes the hardware commonly found in both body-powered and externally powered devices, and it analyzes the components of current clinical state-of-the-art prosthetics. Furthermore, the chapter provides insights into mechatronic designs of established research devices as well as more pioneering solutions.
