Abstract: This work is focused on the design parameters and activity of artificial human finger for seven types of grip; cylindrical, lifting box, push button, hook, spherical , tip and key. At first, obtained the ideal kinematics of human fingers motion by analyzing the grips video which were recorded using a single digital camera recorder fitted on a tripod in saggital plane while the hand is moving. A special motion analysis software (Dartfish) the finger joint angles was studied using the video recording.

Abstract: The photobiostimulation is one of the interesting laser applications in medicine. Practically in Iraq there is no real attention paid to these medical applications of laser and there is no much knowledge about the benefits of the laser biostimulation of skin and tissue burn healing. This work focused on studying the effect of diode laser (637-785nm) with two different powers on the burn healing.

Abstract: Forces applied to the implant due to human activity generate dynamic stresses varying in time and resulting in the fatigue failure of implant material. Therefore, it is important to ensure the hip prostheses against static, dynamic and fatigue failure. This study about two types of implants; the Austin Moore, cemented Thompson, and cementless Thompson hip replacements. The three dimensional solid models were built using AutoCAD 2007 software and then transferred to the finite element software (ANSYS Workbench).
