An Improved Prosthesis for Through Ankle Joint Amputation
Al-Khawarizmi Engineering JournalProsthetics through the ankle joint are prescribed to patients with a Symes amputation after rehabilitation. Energy can be stored and discharged from the flexible parts, such as the foot, leg and joints of the prostheses.

Kinematic coupling between the foot and lower limb during gait [PDF]
, 2006 INTRODUCTION: Abnormal kinematic coupling between the foot and lower limb has been associated with chronic overuse injuries of the lower extremity during running. However, the normal coupling relationship between the two segments remains unclear. The

External Ring Fixation Versus Screw Fixation for Ankle Arthrodesis: A Biomechanical Comparison
, 2009 Background: The use of external ring fixation for ankle arthrodesis offers an alternative to internal screw fixation when bone quality is suboptimal, when complex ankle pathology is present, and as a salvage procedure for complicated cases. Additionally,

Are joint torque models limited by an assumption of monoarticularity? [PDF]
, 2012 This study determines whether maximal voluntary ankle plantar flexor torque could be more accurately represented using a torque generator that is a function of both knee and ankle kinematics.

Feedback control of unsupported standing in paraplegia. Part I: optimal control approach [PDF]
, 1997 This is the first of a pair of papers which describe an investigation into the feasibility of providing artificial balance to paraplegics using electrical stimulation of the paralyzed muscles. By bracing the body above the shanks, only stimulation of the

Ankle joint pressure changes in a pes cavovarus model after lateralizing calcaneal osteotomies
, 2010 Tendon transfers and calcaneal osteotomies are commonly used to treat symptoms related to medial ankle arthrosis in fixed pes cavovarus. However, the relative effect of these osteotomies in terms of lateralizing the ground contact point of the hindfoot ...
