This paper presents a critical review of the nonlinear dynamics of hyperelastic structures.
Hyperelastic structures often undergo large strains when subjected to external time …

In the prosthetics field, one of the most important bottlenecks is still the human-machine
interface, namely the socket. Indeed, a large number of amputees still rejects prostheses or …

The human–prosthesis interface is one of the most complicated challenges facing the field of
prosthetics, despite substantive investments in research and development by researchers …

There are many situations where the skin and underlying soft tissues are compromised by
mechanical loading in the form or pressure, or pressure in combination with shear. If …

Background In recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that medical device-
related pressure ulcers represent a significant burden to both patients and healthcare …

Objectives To determine the perspectives of amputees and rehabilitation clinicians on the
effect of socket fit and issues caused by ill-fitting sockets throughout lower limb prosthetic …

It has been proposed that finite element analysis can complement clinical decision making
for the appropriate design and manufacture of prosthetic sockets for amputees. However …

Flexible wearable sensor electronics, combined with advanced software functions, pave the
way toward increasingly intelligent healthcare devices. One important application area is …

A lower-limb prosthetic socket is the custom-made structural element interfacing the residual
limb of a person with an amputation to their prosthetic leg comprising off-the-shelf …

Effective prosthetic socket design following lower limb amputation depends upon the
accurate characterization of the shape of the residual limb as well as its volume and shape …
