Lower-limb exoskeletons could improve the mobility of people with disabilities, older adults,
workers, first responders, and military personnel. Despite recent advances, few products are …

The increasing capabilities of exoskeletons and powered prosthetics for walking assistance
have paved the way for more sophisticated and individualized control strategies. In …

Many studies have reported the effects of different foot prostheses on gait, but most results
cannot be generalized because the prostheses' properties are seldom reported. We varied …

Significance: The intent of this work was to summarize the existing evidence of, and highlight
knowledge gaps specific to, prosthetic devices/componentry and training regimes …

Lower-limb amputees typically experience reduced mobility and higher metabolic rates than
non-amputees. It may be possible to improve their mobility and metabolic rate with an …

Ankle inversion-eversion compliance is an important feature of conventional prosthetic feet,
and control of inversion, or roll, in active prostheses could improve balance for people with …

Recent human-in-the-loop (HIL) optimization studies using wearable devices have shown
an improved average metabolic reduction by optimizing a small number of control …

Background: Mechanical properties of prosthetic feet can significantly influence amputee
gait, but how they vary with respect to limb loading and orientation is infrequently reported …

There has been an increasing interest in cable-driven robotic rehabilitation systems with
adjustable stiffness to provide safe and natural interactions for physical therapy. In this …

Prosthesis features that enhance balance are desirable to people with transtibial
amputation. Ankle inversion/eversion compliance is intended to improve balance on uneven …
