Computed-torque method for the control of a 2 DOF orthosis actuated through pneumatic artificial muscles: a specific case for the rehabilitation of the lower limb [PDF]
In this paper we give a new control model based on the so called computed-torque method for the control of a 2 degrees of freedom orthosis for the rehabilitation of the lower limb, the AIRGAIT exoskeleton's leg orthosis. The actuation of the AIRGAIT is made through self-made pneumatic muscles.

Artificial embodiment displaces cortical neuromagnetic somatosensory responses
Integrating artificial limbs as part of one's body involves complex neuroplastic changes resulting from various sensory inputs. While somatosensory feedback is crucial, plastic processes that enable embodiment remain unknown.

Experimental Reconstruction of a Nineteenth Century Lower Limb Prosthetic Peg Leg – The Box Leg
Scientific attempts to understand early prosthesis manufacturing techniques are rare. The academic research of artificial limbs has been limited to the historical analysis of documentary sources.
