Anatomically-relevant (AR) biomechanical models are traditionally used to quantify joint
powers and segmental energies of lower extremity structures during gait. While AR models …

Background In this paper, a novel functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-based brain-
computer interface (BCI) framework for control of prosthetic legs and rehabilitation of …

Quantitative assessments of prostheses performances rely more and more frequently on gait
analysis focusing on prosthetic knee joint forces and moments computed by inverse …

Most clinically available prosthetic feet have a rigid attachment or incorporate an “ankle”
device allowing elastic articulation during stance, with the foot returning to a “neutral” …

Lower limb joint kinetics are among the most commonly reported values after instrumented
gait analysis and are typically estimated via inverse dynamic calculations. These …

BACKGROUND: Disruptions to the progress of the centre-of-pressure trajectory beneath
prosthetic feet have been reported previously. These disruptions reflect how body weight is …

The objectives of this study were (A) to record the inner prosthesis loading during activities
of daily living (ADL),(B) to present a set of variables comparing loading data, and (C) to …

Background Passive prosthetic devices are set up to provide optimal function at customary
walking speed and thus may function less effectively at other speeds. This partly explains …

The iPecs™ load cell is a lightweight, six-degree-of-freedom force transducer designed to fit
easily into an endoskeletal prosthesis via a universal mounting interface. Unlike earlier …

Prosthetic alignment is an important factor in the overall fit and performance of a lower-limb
prosthesis. However, the association between prosthetic alignment and control strategies …
