Abstract: Stump stresses were correlated to prosthesis loads for two unilateral, below-knee amputees over a range of flexion-extension angular adjustments. Normal stresses on the patellar tendon and ...

Abstract: Mechanical energy expenditure during level walking was evaluated and graphed for two unilateral, below-knee amputees over time and a range of adjustments of the flexion-extension alignment angle. ...

Abstract: This study extends what had been a purely numerical model that used influence-factor matrices to relate the stump stresses to prosthesis loads for unilateral, below/knee amputees. Previously ...
