RISWhy the Developing World Needs Mechanical Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dramatic and often unjust difference between life in the developed versus developing parts of the world is striking. For example, roughly 3 billion people still burn biomass to cook their meals; more people in the world ...
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, ...
Hip Trajectory Error: A Framework for Designing and Evaluating Passive Prosthetic Feet for People With an Above-Knee Amputation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel hip trajectory error (HTE) framework for designing prosthetic feet specifically for people with an above-knee amputation. Finding a high-performance prosthetic foot for people with an above-knee ...
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 ...
