Objective. Advanced robotic lower limb prostheses are mainly controlled autonomously.
Although the existing control can assist cyclic movements during locomotion of amputee …

Technological advancements have led to the development of numerous wearable robotic
devices for the physical assistance and restoration of human locomotion. While many …

Background The inability of users to directly and intuitively control their state-of-the-art
commercial prosthesis contributes to a low device acceptance rate. Since Electromyography …

Active movement-assistive devices aim to increase the quality of life for patients with
neuromusculoskeletal disorders. This technology requires interaction between the user and …

Emerging robotic knee and ankle prostheses present an opportunity to restore the
biomechanical function of missing biological legs, which is not possible with conventional …

The world is experiencing an unprecedented, enduring, and pervasive aging process. With
more people who need walking assistance, the demand for lower extremity gait …

Myoelectric signals from the human motor control system can improve the real-time control
and neural-machine interface of robotic leg prostheses and exoskeletons for different …

Previous studies of robotic exoskeletons and prostheses with regenerative actuators have
focused on level-ground walking. Here we analyzed the lower-limb joint mechanical power …

Most amputations occur in lower limbs and despite improvements in prosthetic technology,
no commercially available prosthetic leg uses electromyography (EMG) information as an …

Background: Selection of prosthesis mechanical characteristics to restore function of
persons with lower limb loss can be framed as an optimization problem to satisfy a given …
