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

How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation [PDF]
, 2013 Despite recent controversy, it is not yet formally recognised how lower-limb prosthesis should be assessed for their performance. To assist in this process, experiments are undertaken to investigate the linearity, stiffness and assessment of feet based ...

Literature Review on Needs of Upper Limb Prosthesis Users
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016 The loss of one hand can significantly affect the level of autonomy and the capability of performing daily living, working and social activities. The current prosthetic solutions contribute in a poor way to overcome these problems due to limitations in ...

Prosthesis with neuromorphic multilayered e-dermis perceives touch and pain
Science Robotics, 2018 A multilayered e-dermis allows a prosthesis and an amputee to perceive a range of innocuous and noxious tactile stimuli. The human body is a template for many state-of-the-art prosthetic devices and sensors.

Patient-Specific Prosthetic Fingers by Remote Collaboration - A Case Study [PDF]
, 2011 The concealment of amputation through prosthesis usage can shield an amputee from social stigma and help improve the emotional healing process especially at the early stages of hand or finger loss.

Perception, 2008 There are more than forty million blind individuals in the world whose plight would be greatly ameliorated by creating a visual prosthesis. We begin by outlining the basic operational characteristics of the visual system, as this knowledge is essential for producing a prosthetic device based on electrical stimulation through arrays of implanted ...
