Introduction A key determinant of prosthesis use is the quality of fit of the prosthetic socket.
The socket surrounds the residual limb and applies the appropriate force distribution to the …

Transfemoral amputation is a common amputation procedure for the human lower limbs.
Passive, semi-active, and active prosthetic devices are usually prescribed to amputees in …

Force Myography (FMG), which monitors pressure or radial deformation of a limb, has
recently been proposed as a potential alternative for naturally controlling bionic robotic …

The objective of this research was to investigate a strategy for designing and fabricating
computer-manufactured socket inserts that were embedded with sensors for field monitoring …

This paper presents the design and evaluation of an in-socket sensory system for a
transfemoral prosthetic leg using a set of piezoelectric sensors. The design process includes …

This paper presents a wearable virtual reality system with a wireless network of inertial
sensors for lower limb monitoring. The system comprises seven sensor nodes sending data …

Introduction Actuated lower limb prostheses, including powered (active) and semi-active
(quasi-passive) joints, are endowed with controllable power and/or impedance, which can …

Intelligent transfemoral prostheses, which have recently been studied, are equipped with a
microcontroller, providing appropriate motion functions for their walking environments. Thus …

Gait detection is crucial especially in active prosthetic leg control mechanism. Vision system,
floor sensors, and wearable sensors are the popular methods proposed to collect data for …

Major limb amputation affects up to five-thousand people a year in England alone, with
recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq often contributing individuals with complex …
