Todd Kuiken is a doctor specializing in prosthetics. A profile and list of some of his devices is here: http://www.ric.org/aboutus/people/doctors/detail.aspx?doctorId=43
What struck me most was his finger extender patent, which strengthens the flexor muscles in the forearm by using a sort of sleeve made of spring steel. - http://www.google.com/patents?hl=en&lr=&vid=USPAT5113849&id=iUwfAAAAEBAJ&oi=fnd&dq=finger+extender&printsec=abstract#v=onepage&q=finger%20extender&f=false
This is of particular interest to me because I want to design and build a sort of prosthetic from spring steel that actually extends the length of the fingertips to accomodate a set of tape heads with which a user can play my Magnetotron musical instrument - http://pushtheotherbutton.com/index.php?id=7459781963938377025
