Prosthesis is an addition or attachment to the body that replicates the function of a lost or dysfunctional limb. Prostheses have evolved over the centuries starting from wooden and metal levers to highly sophisticated robotic limbs. While the design of prostheses has become complex and multidimensional, their control methodologies have been developed using signal processing and machine learning methods. This book reports on the recent progress in the design and control of prostheses.

This document reports the numbers of prostheses recorded and reported to the NJR between 1 January and 31 December 2020. The tables show volumes of components as they have been entered into the registry, regardless of construct. The procedure counts in this document are presented without adjustment and may vary from counts found in the corresponding main NJR Annual Report analysis. If a procedure has been submitted with missing implant information this will also cause numbers to differ. Procedure counts below four have been suppressed. Components are listed and described according to the current classifications used in the registry. It must be noted that due to COVID-19, the ratio of revision to primary procedures increased in 2020 and this may affect the relative changes in the types and brands of implants used in comparison to previous years. As this document was not published for 2019 Annual Report data, comparison has been made with the 2018 Annual Report data.

This book explores the concept of prosthetics and their impact on individuals with disabilities. It offers a comprehensive approach by integrating scientific perspectives from humanities, social sciences, engineering, and medicine. The authors, led by Valentine Gourinat, Paul-Fabien Groud, and Nathanaël Jarrassé, provide insights through testimonies, ethics, and interviews. The work aims to assist healthcare professionals, researchers, students, social workers, and caregivers in understanding the relationship between the body and prosthetics. It emphasizes the diverse experiences and challenges faced by prosthesis users, avoiding the utopian view of human-machine hybridization. The book is a valuable resource for those involved in the care and study of prosthetics and disabilities.
