Development and Evaluation of a Prosthetic Ankle Emulator With an Artificial Soleus and Gastrocnemius
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In individuals with transtibial limb loss, a contributing factor to mobility-related challenges is the disruption of biological calf muscle function due to transection of the soleus and gastrocnemius. Powered prosthetic ...
Combining an Artificial Gastrocnemius and Powered Ankle Prosthesis: Effects on Transtibial Prosthesis User Gait
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Walking is more difficult for transtibial prosthesis users, partly due to a lack of calf muscle function. Powered ankle prostheses can partially restore calf muscle function, specifically push-off power from the soleus. ...
Development and Preliminary Evaluation of a Bimodal Foot Prosthesis for Walking and Running
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: People often alternate between bouts of walking and running, for instance, when adults participate in recreational activities. Transitioning between activities can be challenging for prosthesis users because existing ...
