RISDesign and Evaluation of a High-Performance, Low-Cost Prosthetic Foot for Developing Countries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel, high-performance, cosmetic, rugged, appropriately costed, and mass-manufacturable prosthetic foot for use in low-income countries was designed and field tested. This ruggedized foot was created to accommodate the ...
Multi-Keel Passive Prosthetic Foot Design Optimization Using the Lower Leg Trajectory Error Framework
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: People with lower-limb amputation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) lack access to adequate prosthetic devices that would restore their mobility and increase their quality of life. This is largely due to the cost ...

Experimental Demonstration of the Lower Leg Trajectory Error Framework Using Physiological Data as Inputs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While many studies have attempted to characterize the mechanical behavior of passive prosthetic feet to understand their influence on amputee gait, the relationship between mechanical design and biomechanical performance ...
Systematic Assessment of Prosthesis Stiffness on User Biomechanics Using the Lower Leg Trajectory Error Framework and Its Implication for the Design and Evaluation of Ankle-Foot Prostheses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Advances in understanding the effects the mechanical characteristics of prosthetic feet on user biomechanics have enabled passive prostheses to improve the walking pattern of people with lower limb amputation. However, ...
Design and Testing of a Prosthetic Foot With Interchangeable Custom Springs for Evaluating Lower Leg Trajectory Error, an Optimization Metric for Prosthetic Feet
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental prosthetic foot intended for evaluating a novel design objective is presented. This objective, called the lower leg trajectory error (LLTE), enables the optimization of passive prosthetic feet by modeling ...
Passive Prosthetic Foot Shape and Size Optimization Using Lower Leg Trajectory Error
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method is presented to optimize the shape and size of a passive, energy-storing prosthetic foot using the lower leg trajectory error (LLTE) as the design objective. The LLTE is defined as the root-mean-square error between ...
