Design of Lower Limb Prosthesis Transverse Plane Adaptor With Variable Stiffness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A lower limb prosthesis is able to restore mobility to patients who have lost a limb; however, no current replacement is as moveable and adaptable as the limb that was lost. Therefore, all amputees suffer from a reduction ...
Design, Fabrication, and Validation of a Portable Perturbation Treadmill for Balance Recovery Research
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Trips and falls are a major concern for older adults. The resulting injury and loss of mobility can have a significant impact on quality of life. An emerging field of study, known as Perturbation Training, has been shown ...
Development of a Novel Perturbation Platform System for Balance Response Testing and Rehabilitation Interventions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Balance perturbations are often used to gain insight into reactive control strategies used to prevent falls. We developed a perturbation platform system (PPS) that can induce perturbations in both vertical and angled ...
