This paper presents a thorough review of the initiatives carried out in the last 10 years
toward the development of active knee prostheses (AKP) for transfemoral amputees. Three …

Several studies have presented technological ensembles of active knee systems for
transfemoral prosthesis. Other studies have examined the amputees' gait performance while …

Desire for better prosthetic feet for below-knee amputees has motivated the development of
several active and highly functional devices. These devices are equipped with controlled …

Each year thousands of people lose their lower limbs, mainly due to three causes: wars,
accidents and vascular diseases. The development of prostheses is crucial to improve the …

The knee joint is a complex structure that plays a significant role in the human lower limb for
locomotion activities in daily living. However, we are still not quite there yet where we can …

Prosthetic knee joint (PKJ) is an important apparatus for trans-femoral amputees to regain
walking ability. This study has two objectives:(1) to design a high performance and low-cost …

This paper presents an approach of identifying prosthetic knee movements through pattern
recognition of mechanical responses at the internal socket's wall. A quadrilateral double …

Objective: To train a machine-learning (ML) algorithm to classify stumbling in transfemoral
amputee gait. Methods: Three subjects completed gait trials in which they were induced to …

Background When develo** new lower limb prostheses, prototypes are tested to obtain
insights into the performance. However, large variations between research protocols may …

This systematic review focuses on control strategies and machine learning techniques used
in prosthetic knees for restoring mobility of individuals with trans-femoral amputations …
