Making Hands by Peter Kyberd
Making Hands: The Design and Use of Upper Extremity Prosthetics provides a historical account of the development of upper extremity prostheses. It describes different aspects surrounding the development of key elements of mechanisms and control, for prosthetic hands and arms, and includes biographical sketches of some key contributors. The field is broad and uses knowledge from a wide range of disciplines. Sections cover the background to give researchers and professionals what they need to learn about adjacent fields. The author's expertise on the control of prostheses makes this a very comprehensive resource on the topic.
From 1990, Peter Kyberd worked at the Oxford Orthopaedic Engineering Centre, at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre a hospital in Oxford, UK. From 2003 to 2015 he was Canada Research Chair at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of New Brunswick, Canada, a world leading centre in Upper Limb Prosthetics. He returned to the UK to be head of Engineering Science, at Greenwich University and is now at Portsmouth University.
