Sinke, Maaike (author), Chadwell, Alix (author), Smit, G. (author)Background: Research into prosthesis training and design puts a burden on the small population of people with upper-limb absence who can participate in these studies. One solution is to use a prosthetic hand simulator, which allows for attaching a hand prosthesis to an intact limb. However, whether the results of prosthesis simulator studies...review 2022

Smit, G. (author)Background: Current body-powered hands have very low acceptance rates. They also require high activation forces. In the past, a high acceptance rate was reported for the then-available Hüfner hand, a hand which could be controlled by relatively low activation forces. Objective: The aim of this study was to measure and quantify the mechanical...journal article 2021

Maat (student), B.B. (author), Smit, G. (author), Plettenburg, D.H. (author), Breedveld, P. (author)The group of passive prostheses consists of prosthetic hands and prosthetic tools. These can either be static or adjustable. Limited research and development on passive prostheses has been performed although many people use these prosthesis types. Although some publications describe passive prostheses, no recent review of the peer-reviewed...review 2017
