Throughout time, many people have been able to build, create, and do amazing things with their arms and legs. However, those who have lost limbs at birth or through an event in their life sometimes have a harder time being as accomplished as others. While some people without limbs have had a harder life, some have been able to accomplish what others with a normal physiology can by the use of prosthetics. This presentation will focus on the advances of prosthetics, the benefits for the user, and their future development. The main focus will be on prosthetic arms and their …

I argue that Kandahar represents the postcolonial state as a disabled space both literally and metaphorically. It projects the veil …

Designing Electronics For An Artificial Leg, Taylor Barto
The Downtown Review: An Interdisciplinary Journal Written and Peer-Reviewed by Mandel Honors College Students at Cleveland State University
A regenerative prosthesis is modeled and simulated. The simulation is optimized with the biogeography-based optimization algorithm to obtain desired knee angle tracking with a reference knee trajectory and to regenerate energy. The prosthesis is able to track a reference knee angle with a 5.1 degree error averaged over an entire stride and regenerate some energy throughout the stride.
