Design and Backdrivability Modeling of a Portable High Torque Robotic Knee Prosthesis With Intrinsic Compliance For Agile Activities. [PDF]
High-performance prostheses are crucial to enable versatile activities like walking, squatting, and running for lower extremity amputees. State-of-the-art prostheses are either not powerful enough to support demanding activities or have low compliance ...

Can microprocessor knees reduce the disparity in trips and falls risks between above and below knee prosthesis users? [PDF]
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]
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 ...
