While many studies have attempted to characterize the mechanical behavior of passive
prosthetic feet to understand their influence on amputee gait, the relationship between …

Advances in understanding the effects the mechanical characteristics of prosthetic feet on
user biomechanics have enabled passive prostheses to improve the walking pattern of …

Prosthetic foot selection for individuals with lower limb amputation relies primarily on
clinician judgment. The prosthesis user rarely has an opportunity to provide experiential …

Introduction: Simulations based on computational musculoskeletal models are powerful
tools for evaluating the effects of potential biomechanical interventions, such as …

Lower limb amputee gait during stance phase is related to the angular stiffness of the
prosthetic foot, which describes the dependence of ankle torque on angular progression of …

This paper describes the design of a simple and low-cost compliant low-profile prosthetic
foot based on a cantilevered beam of uniform strength. The prosthetic foot is developed such …

Robotic prostheses have the potential to significantly improve mobility for people with lower-
limb amputation. Humans exhibit complex responses to mechanical interactions with these …

An experimental prosthetic foot intended for evaluating a novel design objective is
presented. This objective, called the lower leg trajectory error (LLTE), enables the …

The walking pattern and comfort of a person with lower limb amputation are determined by
the prosthetic foot's diverse set of mechanical characteristics. However, most design …

Prosthesis features that enhance balance are desirable to people with transtibial
amputation. Ankle inversion/eversion compliance is intended to improve balance on uneven …
