The upper limb loss!
94,000 upper limb amputees in EU

(Banzi, 2005; UK Prosthetics Services, 2006)!
~4000 traumatic new upper limb amputations per year

in EU (700 in Italy)

(La Plante, 1996)!
Congenital upper limb deficiency incidence of
approximately 4.1 per 10,000 live births

(La Plante, 1996)!

The DESC glove!
The goal is to develop a low cost

wearable device for upper limb

amputees!
The device has to provide tactile

information to the user when using

his own prosthetic device in a

non-invasive way!
Filling the gap!
The DESC glove!
The DESC glove!
Two main parts:!
•  The sensorized glove includes
thin-film sensors in order to
detect when objects are grasped!
•  The arm cuff is aimed to provide
sensory feedback to the user. !
The device is small, low weight, low
power consumption, cheap and
it works: already tested by two
upper limb amputees!!
The DESC glove!
Core team:



- Engineers and physicists with
expertise in prosthetics

- Economists!
!
Partners involved in R&D:



- Orthotists and therapists

- End user!

Team c final

  • 1. The DESC glove! ! the device amputees are asking for since powered prostheses! ! ! Team C! Francesco Clemente! Marco D’Alonzo! Alessandro Gemignani! Federico Montagnani! Rossella Sassu! Pierluigi Smaldone!
  • 2. The upper limb loss! 94,000 upper limb amputees in EU
 (Banzi, 2005; UK Prosthetics Services, 2006)! ~4000 traumatic new upper limb amputations per year
 in EU (700 in Italy)
 (La Plante, 1996)! Congenital upper limb deficiency incidence of approximately 4.1 per 10,000 live births
 (La Plante, 1996)! ! The DESC glove!
  • 3. Consequences of the loss! Grasping and manipulation Sensing The DESC glove!
  • 4. Consequences of the loss! Grasping and manipulation Sensing The DESC glove!
  • 5. Consequences of the loss! Grasping and manipulation Sensing The DESC glove!
  • 6. The goal is to develop a low cost
 wearable device for upper limb
 amputees! The device has to provide tactile
 information to the user when using
 his own prosthetic device in a
 non-invasive way! Filling the gap! The DESC glove!
  • 7. The DESC glove! Two main parts:! •  The sensorized glove includes thin-film sensors in order to detect when objects are grasped! •  The arm cuff is aimed to provide sensory feedback to the user. ! The device is small, low weight, low power consumption, cheap and it works: already tested by two upper limb amputees!! The DESC glove!
  • 8. Core team:
 
 - Engineers and physicists with expertise in prosthetics
 - Economists! ! Partners involved in R&D:
 
 - Orthotists and therapists
 - End user! Team and partners! The DESC glove!
