In this article, we present the design of a powered knee-ankle prosthetic leg, which
implements high-torque actuators with low-reduction transmissions. The transmission …

With efficiencies derived from evolution, growth and learning, humans are very well-tuned
for locomotion 1. Metabolic energy used during walking can be partly replaced by power …

Most commercially available prosthetic feet do not exhibit a biomimetic torque-angle
relationship, and are unable to modulate their mechanics to assist with other mobility tasks …

The human ankle joint plays a critical role during walking and understanding the
biomechanical factors that govern ankle behavior and provides fundamental insight into …

The CYBERLEGs Beta-Prosthesis is an active transfemoral prosthesis that can provide the
full torque required for reproducing average level ground walking at both the knee and ankle …

A major factor for increasing walking speed is the ability to increase propulsive force.
Although propulsive force has been shown to be related to ankle moment and trailing limb …

This work presents an electrophysiologically and dynamically consistent musculoskeletal
model to predict stiffness in the human ankle and knee joints as derived from the joints …

This work presents a framework for selection of subject-specific quasi-stiffness of hip
orthoses and exoskeletons, and other devices that are intended to emulate the biological …

Typically impedance control parameters (eg, stiffness and damping) in powered lower limb
prostheses are fine-tuned by human experts (HMEs), which is time and resource intensive …

In this study, we describe the mechanical design and control scheme of a quasi-passive
knee exoskeleton intended to investigate the biomechanical behavior of the knee joint …
