Mechanical work performed by individual limbs of transfemoral amputees during step-to-step transitions: Effect of walking velocity [PDF]
, 2014 The greater metabolic demand during the gait of people with a transfemoral amputation limits their autonomy and walking velocity. Major modifications of the kinematic and kinetic patterns of transfemoral amputee gait quantified using gait analysis may ...

Toward Natural Limb Function: A New Era in Prosthetic Innovation
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.The past decade has witnessed groundbreaking clinical implementation of neuroprosthetic limbs driven by signals from peripheral targets (eg, nerves and muscle) and the brain to restore limb function for individuals with limb loss or impairment. In this review, we highlight recent key clinical trials in peripheral neuroprosthetic interfaces directly ...
