Effects on ankle power and sound limb load with an active prosthetic foot

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2020
The performance of conventional prosthetic feet depends on material and construction principles. Certain powered feet can even generate net positive mechanical work in order to provide an active push-off.

Lower Limb Strength in Sports-Active Transtibial Amputees

, 2009
The aim of this study was to compare hip strength in sports-active transtibial (TT) amputees, sedentary TT amputees and sports-active non-amputees. Three 'active' (exercising recreationally at least three times per week) TT amputees, four 'inactive' or ...

Wearable pressure sensing for lower limb amputees

, 2022
Pressure sensing in prosthetic sockets is valuable as it provides quantified data to assist prosthetists in designing comfortable sockets for amputees. We present a wearable pressure sensing system for lower limb amputees.

The Amputees and Quality of Life

Collegium antropologicum, 2006
The application of highly sophisticated computer technology and high technology materials allows production of quality prosthetic replacements both in the functional and esthetic sense. The basic prerequisite for successful use of prostheses is an adequately shaped stump, which can be achieved using new operative technique used for extremity amputation.

Study on Gait Efficiency and Energy Cost of Below Knee Amputees After Therapeutic Practices

, 2011
An earlier research advocated that a below knee amputee (BK) with conventional trans-tibial prosthesis attains higher gait efficiency at lower energy cost with therapeutic practices of proper time and co-ordination in compare to normal subjects of ...

An Insight into the acceptable use and assessment of lower-limb running prostheses in disability sport.

, 2013
Sports technology can be any product or system used to facilitate, train or influence an athlete’s performance. The role of prostheses used for disability sport was initially to help facilitate exercise and then ultimately, competition.

Functional outcome of transfemoral amputees fitted with an osseointegrated fixation: temporal gait characteristics

, 2010
The purpose of this study was to characterize the functional outcome of 12 transfemoral amputees fitted with osseointegrated fixation using temporal gait characteristics. The objectives were a) to present the cadence, duration of gait cycle, support, and

The CFF in Unilateral Arm Amputees

, 1971
The CFF was determined in a group of 18 unilateral arm amputees, who may be viewed as possessing a limited degree of cutaneous deprivation, and a group of 18 matched controls.
