Model-Dependent Prosthesis Control with Interaction Force Estimation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Current prosthesis control methods are primarily model-independent - lacking formal guarantees of stability, relying largely on heuristic tuning parameters for good performance, and neglecting use of the natural dynamics of the system. Model-dependence for prosthesis controllers is difficult to achieve due to the unknown human dynamics.

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Sarcopenia, the age‐related loss of muscle mass and strength, may impact the muscles involved in oral functions and swallowing, leading to challenges that may impact quality of life in older adults. The aim of the study was to compare oral health, swallowing function, and malnutrition of older adults with and without sarcopenia ...

Enhancing Prosthetic Safety and Environmental Adaptability: A Visual-Inertial Prosthesis Motion Estimation Approach on Uneven Terrains [PDF]
arXivEnvironment awareness is crucial for enhancing walking safety and stability of amputee wearing powered prosthesis when crossing uneven terrains such as stairs and obstacles. However, existing environmental perception systems for prosthesis only provide terrain types and corresponding parameters, which fails to prevent potential collisions when crossing

PM&R, EarlyView.Abstract As health care attempts to bridge the gap between evidence and practice, the concept of the learning health system (LHS) is becoming increasingly relevant. LHS integrates evidence with health systems data, driving health care quality and outcomes through updates in policy, practice, and care delivery.

A Clinical Tuning Framework for Continuous Kinematic and Impedance Control of a Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis [PDF]
arXivObjective: Configuring a prosthetic leg is an integral part of the fitting process, but the personalization of a multi-modal powered knee-ankle prosthesis is often too complex to realize in a clinical environment. This paper develops both the technical means to individualize a hybrid kinematic-impedance controller for variable-incline walking and sit ...

A Phase Variable Approach for Improved Rhythmic and Non-Rhythmic Control of a Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Although there has been recent progress in control of multi-joint prosthetic legs for rhythmic tasks such as walking, control of these systems for non-rhythmic motions and general real-world maneuvers is still an open problem. In this article, we develop a new controller that is capable of both rhythmic (constant-speed) walking, transitions between ...

High-Flexion Posterior-Stabilized Total Knee Prosthesis: Is It Worth the Hype?
Knee Surgery and Related Research, 2013 High-flexion knee prosthesis was introduced with the aim of obtaining higher degree of flexion and good survivorship in patients with high functional demands or those requiring squatting, kneeling, etc., which is more common in Asians.
