When applying exoskeletons for walking assistance, one important consideration is to
ensure that the users retain full control over the exoskeleton-provided assistance, which is …

The aim of this review article is to appraise the design and functionality of above-knee
prosthetic legs. So far, various transfemoral prosthetic legs are found to offer a stable gait to …

Powered lower-limb prostheses have the potential to improve amputee mobility by closely
imitating the biomechanical function of the missing biological leg. To accomplish this goal …

Background Prosthetic legs help individuals with an amputation regain locomotion.
Recently, deep neural network (DNN)-based control methods, which take advantage of the …

One of the typical purposes of using lower-limb exoskeleton robots is to provide assistance
to the wearer by supporting their weight and augmenting their physical capabilities …

Emerging task-agnostic control methods offer a promising avenue for versatile assistance in
powered exoskeletons without explicit task detection, but typically come with a performance …

Although powered prosthetic legs have enabled more biomimetic joint kinematics during
steady-state activities like walking and stair climbing, transitions between these activities are …

Passive prosthetic legs require undesirable compensations from amputee users to avoid
stubbing obstacles and stairsteps. Powered prostheses can reduce those compensations by …

One of the primary benefits of emerging powered prosthetic legs is their ability to facilitate
step-over-step stair ascent by providing positive mechanical work. Existing control methods …

Assistive devices, such as exoskeletons and prostheses, have revolutionized the field of
rehabilitation and mobility assistance. Efficiently detecting transitions between different …
