A lightweight robotic leg prosthesis replicating the biomechanics of the knee, ankle, and toe joint
Science Robotics, 2022 Robotic leg prostheses promise to improve the mobility and quality of life of millions of individuals with lower-limb amputations by imitating the biomechanics of the missing biological leg. Unfortunately, existing powered prostheses are much heavier and

An extendable modular endoprosthetic system for bone tumour management in the leg [PDF]
, 1990 A modular endoprosthetic system has been developed at the Groningen University Hospital and the University of Twente. The system can bridge a defect resulting from the resection of a malignant bone tumour which has developed around the knee joint of a ...

Online Reinforcement Learning Control for the Personalization of a Robotic Knee Prosthesis
IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, 2020 Robotic prostheses deliver greater function than passive prostheses, but we face the challenge of tuning a large number of control parameters in order to personalize the device for individual amputee users.

Formation of buckling resistance in a transfemoral prosthesis
Вестник медицинского института «Реавиз»: Реабилитация, врач и здоровье, 2022 Introduction. The principles of construction of the knee joint in the transfemoral prosthesis are considered. The design of the knee joint in the transfemoral prosthesis with an original mechanism for ensuring buckling resistance in the prosthesis is ...

The use of the constrained prosthesis in the difficult primary knee arthroplasty [PDF]
The Moldovan Medical Journal, 2021 Background: The constrained knee prosthesis has the basic indication in revision arthroplasty, but the latest literature reveals that it takes place also in primary total knee arthroplasty in cases of knee osteoarthritis associated with major ...

Treatment of the exposed knee prosthesis [PDF]
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1987 Ten knees with early tissue breakdown after knee arthroplasty resulting in exposed prostheses were treated with different plastic surgical techniques. Six knees were successfully covered: four using a gastrocnemius musculocutaneous flap, one using a fasciocutaneous flap, and one using split-skin grafts. Four knees failed: two using local skin flaps and

An investigation into a locking mechanism designed for a gear-based knee joint prosthesis
Cogent Engineering, 2020 Background: The knee-locking mechanism in an above-knee prosthesis is crucially important to protect the prosthesis user from sudden falling down due to unexpected disturbance while standing upright.
