This paper presents a review on design issues and solutions found in active lower limb
prostheses. This review is based on a systematic literature search with a methodical search …

Since the mid-2000s, perturbation-based balance training has been gaining interest as an
efficient and effective way to prevent falls in older adults. It has been suggested that this task …

Objective: Lower limb amputees are at high risk of falling as current prosthetic legs provide
only limited functionality for recovering balance after unexpected disturbances. For instance …

This paper presents algorithms for detection of gait initiation and termination using wearable
inertial measurement units and pressure-sensitive insoles. Body joint angles, joint angular …

Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are widely used as assistive/rehabilitation devices to correct the
gait of people with lower leg neuromuscular dysfunction and muscle weakness. We have …

Background The experimental study of stumble recovery is essential to better understanding
the reflexive mechanisms that help prevent falls as well as the deficiencies in fall-prone …

Background Considering the disruptive potential of AI technology, its current and future
impact in healthcare, as well as healthcare professionals' lack of training in how to use it, the …

This paper proposes a human–machine-centered approach to lower limb prosthetic design.
The approach is based on a profound analysis and modeling of human factors from user …

Recent advances in design of powered artificial legs have led to increased potential to allow
lower limb amputees to actively recover from stumbles. To achieve this goal, promptly and …
