Human walking mechanics have long been described using an inverted pendulum analogy
(5). The body center of mass travels in an arc trajectory such that it rises and decelerates …

OBJECTIVE:: The purpose of this systematic review was to identify which biomechanical and
physiological parameters are the most relevant, commonly used, able to discriminate and/or …

Computerized assessment of gait is commonly used in both research and clinical settings to
quantify gait mechanics and detect change in performance. Minimal Detectable Change …

BACKGROUND: Below-knee amputees commonly experience asymmetrical gait patterns
and develop comorbidities in their intact and residual legs. Carbon fiber prosthetic feet have …

Robotic prostheses have the potential to significantly improve mobility for people with lower-
limb amputation. Humans exhibit complex responses to mechanical interactions with these …

Variability and stability of walking of eight transfemoral amputees and eight healthy controls
was studied under four conditions: walking inside on a smooth terrain, walking while …

Unilateral lower-limb amputees exhibit asymmetry in many gait features, such as ground
force, step time, step length, and joint mechanics. Although these asymmetries result from …

Human Locomotion Mode Recognition (LMR) has the potential to be used as a control
mechanism for lower-limb active prostheses. Active prostheses can assist and restore a …

The aim of prosthetic devices is to mimic the function of biological systems. Numerous
investigations have demonstrated significant asymmetries in unilateral amputee gait. The …
