Robotic leg prostheses promise to improve the mobility and quality of life of millions of
individuals with lower-limb amputations by imitating the biomechanics of the missing …

We present a lightweight robotic knee prosthesis with a novel hybrid actuation system that
enables passive and active operation modes. The proposed hybrid knee uses a spring …

This paper presents a thorough review of the initiatives carried out in the last 10 years
toward the development of active knee prostheses (AKP) for transfemoral amputees. Three …

Robotic ankle-foot prostheses aim to improve the mobility of individuals with belowknee
amputations by closely imitating the biomechanical function of the missing biological limb …

While many tools and methodologies for assessing social impact exist and are used in the
social science and global development fields, there is a lack of standard methods for …

Powered ankle-foot prostheses must provide high power and torque while satisfying
stringent size and weight requirements. Previous works have focused on improving the …

This article presents a robotic transfemoral prosthesis that consists of an electrohydraulic
knee and a motor-driven ankle. The electrohydraulic knee includes a controllable hydraulic …

This paper discusses two levels of generalization of the parallel axis theorem for rotational
inertia. The first relates the moments of inertia about any two parallel axes, whether or not …

Background Biomechanical gait analyses are typically performed in laboratory settings, and
are associated with limitations due to space, marker placement, and tasks that are not …

An estimated 230,000 above-knee amputees in India are currently in need of prosthetic
devices, a majority of them facing severe socio-economic constraints. However, only a few …
