Background The inability of users to directly and intuitively control their state-of-the-art
commercial prosthesis contributes to a low device acceptance rate. Since Electromyography …

Objectives There is a need for diagnostic devices that can assist prosthetic care providers to
better assess and maintain residuum health of individuals suffering from …

Background The study of the regulatory mechanisms of evolutionarily conserved Nucleotide-
binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) resistance (R) proteins in animals and plants is of …

Current lower limb prostheses lack bidirectional communication and the ability to generate
power. As a result, they do not effectively replace the lost limb. Electromyography (EMG) …

This paper presents our initial evaluation of a prototype ankle prosthesis with a one degree-
of-freedom joint-axis featuring a biologically correct joint-axis alignment with hydro …

The use of prosthetics has gradually increased due to various diseases, and it is estimated
that 35-40 million people are prosthetic/orthotic users, with the number estimated to increase …

There is currently a lack of effective user feedback in lower limb prosthetics, which limits the
sense of embodiment and overall usability of these devices. Research indicates that closing …

People with a lower-limb amputation rely heavily on vision for balance to compensate for the
lack of sensory feedback from their missing limb. As sensory feedback from the foot activates …

Since antiquity, health professionals have sought ways to provide and improve prosthetic
devices to ease the suffering of those living with limb loss. Mid-century modern engineering …
