Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

6.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Prosthetics and Orthotics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Technology

Background:

  • Hybrid-power prostheses integrate body-power and external-power, offering a unique class of assistive devices.
  • The definition and scope of hybrid prostheses are not well-established in existing literature.
  • Despite increased clinical use for above-elbow amputations, performance data is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and categorize existing subcategories of hybrid prostheses, focusing on hybrid-power devices.
  • To document the designs and applications of hybrid-power prostheses in research and clinical settings.
  • To compare the performance of hybrid-power devices with other active prostheses where data is available.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic scoping review following PRISMA 2020 guidelines was conducted.
  • Literature searches encompassed Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and patent databases (eSpacenet, Derwent Innovations Index).
  • Screening of 142 unique research papers and 2 patents identified 13 relevant studies for full-text review.

Main Results:

  • Five categories of hybridisation were identified: hybrid-power, hybrid-control, hybrid-strategy, hybrid-actuation, and hybrid-feedback.
  • Key use-cases for hybrid-power prostheses include enhancing active control and reducing user effort.
  • Research applications involve increasing grasp options and providing flexible control in resource-limited areas.

Conclusions:

  • There is insufficient quantitative evidence to benchmark hybrid-power prostheses against body-power or external-power devices.
  • Further research is recommended to test conventional hybrid-power devices using standardized clinical methods.
  • Establishing performance benchmarks is crucial for future advancements in hybrid prosthesis technology.
