Abstract: The simulation aspect has become the centre of research in the field of prosthesis. There have been various successful applications of prosthetic organs, where natural biological organs have failed to function in patients. Simulation aspects and control modelling are indispensible for knowing system performance and for generating an original approach to artificial organs. An overview of the applications of the control theory to prosthetic internal organs, including the heart, lungs, kidney and pancreas, is presented in this paper. This overview focuses mainly on control techniques: a theoretical overview and fusion of artificial internal organs trying to mimic the efficacies of biologically active natural organs.

Keywords: prosthetics; simulation; immersed boundary; auto regressive moving average; ARMA modelling; neural networks; bio artificial liver support systems; advance endocrine management; glucose; hemodialysis; prosthetic organs; artificial organs; control theory; internal organs; heart; lungs; kidney; pancreas.
