Can microprocessor knees reduce the disparity in trips and falls risks between above and below knee prosthesis users? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 While all lower limb prosthesis walkers have a high risk of tripping and/or falling, above knee prosthesis users are reported to fall more frequently. Recognising this, engineers designed microprocessor knees (MPK) to help mitigate these risks, but to ...

Alignment of the above-knee prosthesis/1 [PDF]
Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 1979 1. A long prosthesis forces drop of the pelvis on the normal side, can cause crotch pressure and distal femoral pressure leading to discomfort, can reduce voluntary control, may force the amputee to walk with an abducted stump hip for stance phase and to swing the leg outward for toe clearance in swing phase or to compensate by rising up on the sound ...

Kinematic Analysis of a Posterior-stabilized Knee Prosthesis
Chinese Medical Journal, 2015 Background: The goal of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is to restore knee kinematics. Knee prosthesis design plays a very important role in successful restoration.

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019 Background Establishing gait symmetry is a major aim of amputee rehabilitation and may be more attainable with powered prostheses. Though, based on previous work, we postulate that users transfer a previously-learned motor pattern across devices ...

Atraumatic patellar prosthesis dislocation with patellar tendon injury following a total knee arthroplasty: a case report [PDF]
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2010 Introduction Total knee arthroplasty is a well-established procedure with gratifying results. There is no consensus in the literature whether to routinely resurface the patella while performing total knee arthroplasty or not.

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009 To evaluate motions and joint reaction forces of the total knee prosthesis during deep knee flexion such as kneeling and sitting straight, a simulator that reproduces the passive motion of the knee has been developed. The main feature of the simulator is
