Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides visionary perspective and interpretation regarding the role of wearable and wireless systems for the domain of gait and reflex response quantification. These observations are brought together in their application to smartphones and… other portable media devices to quantify gait and reflex response in the context of machine learning for diagnostic classification and integration with the Internet of things and cloud computing. The perspective of this book is from the first-in-the-world application of these devices, as in smartphones, for quantifying gait and reflex response, to the current state of the art. Dr. LeMoyne has published multiple groundbreaking applications using smartphones and portable media devices to quantify gait and reflex response.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book focuses on the advances in transtibial prosthetic technology and targets research in the evolution of the powered prosthesis such as the BiOM, which was derived from considerable research and development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technolog…y. The concept of the book spans the historical evolution of prosthetic applications from passive to new and futuristic robotic prosthetic technologies. The author describes the reasons for amputation, surgical procedures, and an historical perspective of the prosthesis for the lower limb. He also addresses the phases and sub-phases of gait and compensatory mechanisms arising for a transtibial prosthesis and links the compensatory mechanisms to long-term morbidities. The general technologies for gait analysis central to prosthetic design and the inherent biomechanics foundations for analysis are also explored. The book reports on recent-past to current-term applications with passive elastic prostheses. The core of the book deals with futuristic robotic prostheses including their function and major subsystems, such as actuator technology, state machine control, and machine learning applications. Finally, the envisioned future trends in the prosthetic technology space are presented.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book offers insights into the complexities associated with neurological control of gait and details extrinsic capabilities demonstrating conceptual advancements in prosthetic control. The first edition of this book achieved 15,000 accesses by January 2…025. This subsequent edition explores the current advancements in powered transtibial prosthetics. The development of electromyography (EMG) feedback to enhance prosthetic control is thoroughly analyzed. Evolved control architectures and their corresponding components and subsystems in prosthetic technology are concisely summarized. Furthermore, the rapidly advancing patents relevant to powered prosthetics are examined. Lastly, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics is discussed, with a focus on their implications for advancements in prosthetic technology. This edition not only delves into the realm of cutting-edge powered prosthetic systems but also addresses the intersection of AI (machine learning) and robotics. It encompasses extrinsic capabilities critical for advanced control in prosthetic technology, appealing not only to those with a vested interest in prosthetic innovations but also to enthusiasts in the fast-evolving fields of AI and robotics.

First edition, 8vo, pp. xii, 280; pictorial endpapers, 4 folding maps; original pictorial green cloth stamped in black and white, and preserving the uncommon dust jacket which shows wear and short tears, plus a larger piece missing from the bottom on the spine and front panel. The fair jacket aside, a very good, s…ound and clean copy. Contains a 5-page Caravan Vocabulary, "Urdu words we taught our village men, with a few Ladakhi and Turki words which we all use commonly." "The text is a series of letters detailing a journey through the Himalayan region in Asia and relating some of the folktales told by local villagers. Among the other interesting oral histories and tidbits related by the author, there is a tale recounted from the perspective of villagers in the Himalayas about British explorer and military man Francis Younghusband who famously crossed the treacherous mountain range and uncharted desert territories as a young man" (National Book Auctions). Barrett was a wealthy explorer and traveler who founded the Association of American Geographers. Barrett traveled through the Canadian Rockies and later financed an expedition into the Himalayas. Barrett is also credited with beginning the Three-Corner-Round nonprofit organization's expeditions through the Sierra Nevada which continue to this day as an outdoor experience for young people.
