Integrated and Lightweight Design of Electro-hydraulic Ankle Prosthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 For lower limb amputees, an active ankle joint prosthesis can provide basic mobility functions. This study focuses on an ankle joint prosthesis system based on the principle of electric-hydraulic actuation. By analyzing the characteristics of human gait cycles and the mechanics of ankle joint movement, a lightweight and integrated ankle joint ...

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Proper tension of the collateral ligaments is the key to success in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study aimed to identify the distraction force for the medial and lateral femorotibial compartments in tension‐controlled ligament‐balanced TKA at 0° and 90° of knee flexion. Methods A literature search was conducted in PubMed up to 31

Total Knee Prosthesis after Knee Joint Distraction Treatment
, 2015 Background and purpose: During knee joint distraction (KJD) treatment, using an external fixation-frame, pin-tract infections frequently occur. These local skin infections, although treated successfully with oral antibiotics, might lead to latent ...

Walking for short distances and turning in lower-limb amputees: a study in low-cost prosthesis users [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Preferred walking speed is a widely-used performance measure for people with mobility issues, but is usually measured in straight line walking for fixed distances or durations. However, daily walking involves walking for bouts of different distances and walking with turning.
