Muscular skeletal disorder is a difficult challenge faced by the working population. Motion
capture (MoCap) is used for recording the movement of people for clinical, ergonomic and …

Movement dataset reviews exist but are limited in coverage, both in terms of size and
research discipline. While topic-specific reviews clearly have their merit, it is critical to have a …

Robotic leg prostheses promise to improve the mobility and quality of life of millions of
individuals with lower-limb amputations by imitating the biomechanics of the missing …

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 …

Most impedance-based walking controllers for powered knee–ankle prostheses use a finite
state machine with dozens of user-specific parameters that require manual tuning by …

Above-knee amputation severely reduces the mobility and quality of life of millions of
individuals. Walking with available leg prostheses is highly inefficient, and poor walking …

Ambulation with existing prostheses is extremely difficult for individuals with bilateral above-
knee amputations. Commonly prescribed prostheses are passive devices that cannot …

Phase variables are continuous real-valued functions which parameterize the gait cycle. As
such, they can be used to estimate a powered prosthesis user's walking state. It is common …

Motion analysis has played a crucial role in providing gait analysis for prosthetic users.
Understanding kinematics in motion analysis allows for the evaluation of the effects of …

Walking on compliant terrains, like carpets, grass, and soil, presents a unique challenge,
especially for individuals with mobility impairments. In contrast to rigid-ground walking …
