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 ...

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 ...

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

Running With a Powered Knee and Ankle Prosthesis
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2015 This paper presents a running control architecture for a powered knee and ankle prosthesis that enables a transfemoral amputee to run with a biomechanically appropriate running gait and to intentionally transition between a walking and running gait.
