Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side of the...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Background:

Effective myoelectric control is crucial for prosthetic limb functionality.
Developing robust muscle activation strategies in remnant limbs presents significant challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a patient training evolution for achieving myoelectric control in a remnant limb.
To analyze the efficacy of a structured training protocol on muscle strength and control.

Main Methods:

A two-stage methodology involving muscle education in the remnant limb.
Myoelectric signal acquisition and analysis to track patient progress through training sessions.

Main Results:

The patient demonstrated progressive improvement in muscle strength and control over three training stages.
Gradual achievement of higher contraction levels was observed.

Conclusions:

The described training protocol facilitates the development of myoelectric control in remnant limbs.
This approach shows potential for enhancing functional outcomes in individuals with limb loss.
