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 ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design and bench testing of a transtibial prosthesis with active transverseplane control. The prosthesis allows direct control of transverse plane torque over the full physiological range. The ...

Abstract: Individuals with transtibial amputation (TTA) experience asymmetric lower-limb loading which can lead to joint pain and injuries. However, it is unclear how walking over unexpected uneven terrain affects their loading ...

Abstract: Abstract. Individuals with unilateral transtibial amputation (TTA) often demonstrate asymmetrical gait patterns, which are further exacerbated during load carriage as passive prostheses cannot modulate their mechanical ...

Abstract: Abstract. Prosthetic ankle–foot devices provide valuable assistance for individuals with a unilateral transtibial amputation (TTA) to effectively engage in daily living activities, although users often experience diminished ...

Abstract: Coronally uneven terrain, a common yet challenging feature encountered in daily ambulation, exposes individuals to an increased risk of falling. The foot-ankle complex may adapt to improve balance on uneven terrains, a ...

Abstract: To improve the balance of individuals with lower limb amputation on coronally uneven terrain, a coronally clutching ankle (CCA) was developed to actively adapt through ±15 deg of free coronal foot rotation during the first ...
