| Research Abstract |
The object of this study is to realize fitting a electrical powered soulder prosthesis and a functional artificial legs for a peculiar case to cut off his arms and legs from 1986 to 1987.
However, our plan of walking motion by the artificial legs in 1987 has become impracticable because of a disease of the diabetes. So that, we have chiefly developed to establish a field test of electrical prosthesis, a training of operation and a technical support of it in 1987.
The electrical powered prosthesis with highly rigid and light weight has become possible by the development of space linkage mechanism of a shoulder. The structure of a hand part is to easily change a hook type and a cosmetic hand by the quick changing system. And then, the frame fitting body has been able tgo manufacture by appliying a CAD/CAM technics to a produced frame.
The function and effectiveness of above knee and below knee prosthesis was confirmed by the field test of the subject except for this study, and then a walking with quick steps has become possible.
The main results of the field test of electrical prosthesis are as follows:
(1)We have completed a training device to fit a prosthesis by a jaw switch and have been able to improve the operation ratio of about 90% as a result ofthe training for three months.
(2)The prosthesis of a trial manufacture could operate the movements of eating,drinking and turning over pages of a book, and then this field test is continuing now.
