How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation [PDF]
, 2013 Despite recent controversy, it is not yet formally recognised how lower-limb prosthesis should be assessed for their performance. To assist in this process, experiments are undertaken to investigate the linearity, stiffness and assessment of feet based ...

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2023 Researchers have proposed various linkage mechanisms to connect knee and ankle joints for above-knee prostheses, but most of them only offer natural walking. However, studies have shown that people assume a squatting posture during daily activities. This

Polymeric Composite Hip-Joint Prosthesis [PDF]
Advanced Composites Letters, 1992 It has been claimed that the durability of hip-joint replacement improves with isoelastic prostheses. A PEEK composite accordingly appears to be a suitable material system. Prosthesis-stems were injection moulded from 30% short CF reinforced PEEK and a preliminary FE analysis indicated improved mechanical compatibility between the bone and the stem.

Infection in prosthetic material [PDF]
, 2015 Surgical site infection (SSI) occurs when a wound created as part of a surgical procedure becomes infected. SSI is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections and occurs in approximately 5% of patients undergoing a surgical procedure. SSI may
