Biomechanical Impacts of Toe Joint With Transfemoral Amputee Using a Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2022 Transfemoral amputees are currently forced to utilize energetically passive prostheses that provide little to no propulsive work. Among the several joints and muscles required for healthy walking, the ones most vital for push-off assistance include the ...

Calculation of wear (f.i. wear modulus) in the plastic cup of a hip joint prosthesis [PDF]
, 1975 The wear equation is applied to the wear process in a hip joint prosthesis and a wear modulus is defined. The sliding distance, wear modulus, wear volume, wear area, contact angle and the maximum normal stress were calculated and the theoretical ...

Automated Forearm Prosthesis Controlling Using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor [PDF]
Journal of Microwaves, Optoelectronics and Electromagnetic Applications, 2023 This paper describes the automation of a forearm prosthesis using the signal collected by a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor. The FBG sensor is applied to one subject's forearm to measure the deformation as a result of the index and middle fingers when ...
