Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and ACL reconstruction (ACLR) surgery are common.
Laboratory-based biomechanical assessment can evaluate ACL injury risk and …

Human locomotion involves continuously variable activities including walking, running, and
stair climbing over a range of speeds and inclinations as well as sit-stand, walk-run, and …

The analysis of human locomotion is highly dependent on the quantity and quality of
available data to obtain reliable evidence, due to the great variability of gait characteristics …

An exoskeleton needs reference joint angle profiles at various speeds and slopes for its
application in real-world scenarios. Recording these profiles and their implementation in the …

Powered knee and ankle prostheses can perform a limited number of discrete ambulation
tasks. This is largely due to their control architecture, which uses a finite-state machine to …

Powered prosthetic legs can improve the quality of life for people with transfemoral
amputations by providing net positive work at the knee and ankle, reducing the effort …

User customization of a lower-limb powered Prosthesis controller remains a challenge to
this date. Controllers adopting impedance control strategies mandate tedious tuning for …

Individuality in clinical gait analysis is often quantified by an individual's kinematic deviation
from the norm, but it is unclear how these deviations generalize across different walking …

Trajectory generation for biped robots is very complex due to the challenge posed by real-
world uneven terrain. To address this complexity, this paper proposes a data-driven Gait …

Prosthetic discrete controller relies on finite state machines to switch between a set of
predefined task-specific controllers. Therefore the prosthesis can only perform a limited …
