Summary
This study shows the advanced Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL) is usable for individuals with below-elbow amputations. Surface electromyography (sEMG) control enabled significant functional improvements and dexterity with the prosthetic hand.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Rehabilitation Science
- Prosthetics and Orthotics
Background:
- Advanced prosthetic limbs offer potential for improved function in individuals with limb loss.
- Surface electromyography (sEMG) provides a non-invasive method for controlling prosthetic devices.
- The Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL) integrates advanced features for dexterous upper extremity control.

Initiation of Translation
39.2K
Initiating translation is complex because it involves multiple molecules. Initiator tRNA, ribosomal subunits, and eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are all required to assemble on the initiation codon of mRNA. This process consists of several steps that are mediated by different eIFs.
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...

Transcription Initiation
21.3K
Initiation is the first step of transcription in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic RNA Polymerase (RNAP) can bind to the template DNA and start transcribing. On the other hand, transcription in eukaryotes requires additional proteins, called transcription factors, to first bind to the promoter region in the DNA template. This binding helps recruit the specific RNAP that can assemble on the DNA and start transcription.

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation
458
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Arteries of Lower Limbs
4.9K
The external iliac artery transitions out of the body cavity, entering the femoral region of the lower leg, and is renamed the femoral artery at the point where it traverses the body wall. This artery is responsible for the distribution of blood to the thigh's deep muscles and the skin's ventral and lateral regions, achieved through several minor branches and the lateral deep femoral artery, which also spawns a lateral circumflex artery. The knee area receives blood from the genicular...
