Calculation of the speed of walking of individuals with transfemoral amputation fitted with bone-anchored prosthesis [PDF]

, 2013
Typically, the walking ability of individuals with a transfemoral amputation (TFA) can be represented by the speed of walking (SofW) obtained in experimental settings.

Design, Analysis, and Development of Low-Cost State-of-the-Art Magnetorheological-Based Microprocessor Prosthetic Knee

Sensors
For amputees, amputation is a devastating experience. Transfemoral amputees require an artificial lower limb prosthesis as a replacement for regaining their gait functions after amputation.

The Cost of Assistance: High Prosthetic Knee Torque Reduces Biological Joint Work But Induces Symmetry Tradeoffs in Knee Power and Center-of-Mass Velocity During Stair Ascent

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Stair ascent is a biomechanically demanding activity for individuals with transfemoral amputation, often requiring significant overreliance on the residual hip and sound biological joints to compensate for the lack of positive power in conventional ...

Relationship between Asymmetry of Gait and Muscle Torque in Patients after Unilateral Transfemoral Amputation

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2018
Many studies have shown that unilateral transfemoral amputation involves asymmetric gait. Transfemoral amputation leads to muscle atrophy in a tight stump resulting in asymmetry in muscle torque between the amputated and intact limb.
