Lower-limb exoskeletons could improve the mobility of people with disabilities, older adults,
workers, first responders, and military personnel. Despite recent advances, few products are …

Leg morphology is an important outcome of evolution. A remarkable morphological leg
feature is the existence of biarticular muscles that span adjacent joints. Diverse studies from …

In this paper, we explore the effect of residual hip assistance in one above-knee amputee
subject using a novel lightweight powered hip exoskeleton. Differently from a powered …

People with transtibial limb loss experience reduced mobility. Intelligent ankle-foot
prostheses have the potential to improve quality of life in people with limb loss, but there are …

Walking is more difficult for transtibial prosthesis users, partly due to a lack of calf muscle
function. Powered ankle prostheses can partially restore calf muscle function, specifically …

Lower limb amputees experience gait impairments, in part due to limitations of prosthetic
limbs and the lack of a functioning biarticular gastrocnemius (GAS) muscle. Energy storing …

People with transtibial limb loss frequently experience suboptimal gait outcomes. This is
partly attributable to the absence of the biarticular gastrocnemius muscle, which plays a …

Lower-limb amputation limits inherent motor abundance in the locomotor system and
impairs walking mechanics. Able-bodied walkers vary ankle torque to adjust step-to-step leg …

In individuals with transtibial limb loss, a contributing factor to mobility-related challenges is
the disruption of biological calf muscle function due to transection of the soleus and …

Background Neuroprosthetic devices controlled by persons with standard limb amputation
often lack the dexterity of the physiological limb due to limitations of both the user's ability to …
