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.

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.

A Piecewise Monotonic Gait Phase Estimation Model for Controlling a Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis in Various Locomotion Modes [PDF]
in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, vol. 7, no. 4, pp.
9549-9556, Oct. 2022, 2022 Gait phase-based control is a trending research topic for walking-aid robots, especially robotic lower-limb prostheses. Gait phase estimation is a challenge for gait phase-based control. Previous researches used the integration or the differential of the human's thigh angle to estimate the gait phase, but accumulative measurement errors and noises can ...

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 ...
