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 ...

Effects of prosthetic design parameters on running performance of a unilateral transfemoral amputee
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2021 Carbon fiber running-specific prostheses (RSPs) are widely used among lower-limb amputee runners. However, which prosthesis provides the best performance for runners remains unknown.

An investigation into a locking mechanism designed for a gear-based knee joint prosthesis
Cogent Engineering, 2020 Background: The knee-locking mechanism in an above-knee prosthesis is crucially important to protect the prosthesis user from sudden falling down due to unexpected disturbance while standing upright.

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 ...

Development of the Transfemoral Prosthesis for Swimming Focused on Ankle Joint Motion
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2013 The objective of this study was to develop a prototype of transfemoral prosthesis for swimming focused on the ankle joint motion. This prosthesis has (i) an ankle joint which provides appropriate foot motion, (ii) the capability of walking on land by the
