RISOptimization of Prosthetic Foot Stiffness to Reduce Metabolic Cost and Intact Knee Loading During Below-Knee Amputee Walking: A Theoretical Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Unilateral below-knee amputees develop abnormal gait characteristics that include bilateral asymmetries and an elevated metabolic cost relative to non-amputees. In addition, long-term prosthesis use ...
Manufacture of Energy Storage and Return Prosthetic Feet Using Selective Laser Sintering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Proper selection of prosthetic foot-ankle components with appropriate design characteristics is critical for successful amputee rehabilitation. Elastic energy storage and return (ESAR) feet have ...
