Upper limb prosthetic components are often characterized by the degrees of freedom
(DOFs), or different planes of movement, that they allow. 1 For example, the elbow has 1 key …

Introduction Asymmetrical limb loading is believed to cause health problems for lower limb
amputees and is exacerbated when walking on slopes. Hydraulically damped ankle-feet …

Background: Ankle-foot and knee components are important determinants of mobility for
individuals with transfemoral amputation. Individually, advanced ankle-foot and knee …

Materials and Methods Four different treatment configurations were evaluated using a
randomized crossover study design. These four configurations included the participant's …

Background Older patients with lower limb amputation, categorised as having “limited
community mobility”, are under-researched. Understanding their experience with a new …

Objectives To determine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale randomised controlled trial
(RCT) of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a self-aligning prosthetic ankle-foot …

Methods Electronic database searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, Web of
Science, Scopus, and Proquest covering 1788 to 2017. Two reviewers independently …

Introduction The majority of older patients with a transtibial amputation are prescribed a
standard (more rigid, not self-aligning) prosthesis. These are mostly suitable for level …

Background: Self-aligning ankle feet have an increased range of motion and are marketed
to improve compliance over uneven terrain and increase function and balance; however …

Background: Biomechanical modeling of the lower limbs, including prosthetic componentry,
makes a number of assumptions that influence the data obtained and their subsequent …
