Making Hands: The Design and Use of Upper Extremity Prosthetics provides a comprehensive, historical accounting on the development of upper extremity prostheses that includes a global scope. Different aspects surrounding the development of key aspects of prostheses, mechanisms, control, hands and elbows are described. The field is broad and requires knowledge from a disparate range of disciplines. In addition, sections cover necessary background to give researchers and professionals what they need to learn about adjacent fields. The author's expertise on body powered and externally powered prostheses makes this a very comprehensive resource on the topic.
  • Covers research and technological innovation in the development of upper limb prostheses
  • Introduces upper limb prosthetics from the different perspectives of biology, engineering, clinical practice and industry
  • Discusses innovations of the last decade, rapid manufacture, the 'citizen engineer', and how these things may shape prosthetics in the future
