Prostheses, human mobility, Technological AdvancementsAbstract
Losing a limb significantly impacts daily life by affecting human mobility, causing mundane activities to suddenly become strenuous. Amputations have become an increasing global problem as the number of traumatic amputations has increased from about 370 million in 1990 to 552 million in 2019 [1]. The need for suitable and comfortable prostheses has become more apparent with the rising number of amputations. The two types of core power sources used in upper limb prostheses, body power and myoelectricity, have significantly improved over time through the advancement of sensor technology and CAD (computer-aided design). This review will compare and contrast the different types of power sources available for upper limb prostheses and detail the advancement of sensors and the influence of CAD on prosthesis design.
