Avian extremity reconstruction via osseointegrated leg-prosthesis for intuitive embodiment

Abstract For large avians such as vultures, limb loss leads to loss of ambulation and eventually death from malnutrition. Prosthetic devices may replace the limb, however, conventional prosthetic sockets are not feasible in feathered limbs and the extreme stress and strain of unreflected daily use i...
