Recently, many novel results have appeared on the control-oriented design and analysis of
active prostheses. This paper presents a review of recent advances in the control of robotic …

Objective: This study describes differentiating prosthetic feet designs fitted to bone-anchored
transtibial prostheses based on an automated characterization of ankle stiffness profile …

A lower-limb prosthesis is the mechanical device with which an amputee's residual limb
interacts with the walking surface. The pressure and shear forces that affect the residuum …

Introduction Osseointegrated implants for direct skeletal attachment of transtibial prosthesis
carry risks that are yet to be fully resolved, such as early loosening, mechanical failure of …

Improved walking comfort has been linked with better bio-mimicking of the prosthetic ankle.
This study investigated if a hydraulic ankle/foot can provide enough motion in both the …

Compensating a limb loss with prosthesis is a challenging task due to complexity of the
human body which cannot be fully matched by the available technical means. Designer of …

Most prosthetic feet are designed to mimic shock absorption and push-off (Gitter et al..
1991). Such materials as fibreglass and carbon graphite in Seattle Foot, Flex-Foot, Carbon …

Reports on a pilot evaluation of a prototype foot/ankle prosthesis. This prototype has been
designed and fabricated with the intention of providing decreased ankle joint stiffness during …

The purpose of this paper is to discuss a new quantitative mechanical parameter of
prosthetic feet called the Index of Anthropomorphicity (IA), which has the potential to be …

In this article, MyFlex-, an ESR foot prosthesis equipped with a light and manually adjustable
mechanism that allows for varying its stiffness in the sagittal plane, and a systematic …
