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

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

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 …

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 …

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

People with lower-limb amputation in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) lack access
to adequate prosthetic devices that would restore their mobility and increase their quality of …

Sloped walking is challenging for individuals with transtibial amputation (TTA) due to the
functional loss of the ankle plantarflexors. Prostheses that actively generate ankle power …

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 …

In India alone, there are about one million people with lower limb amputation who require
significantly more effort to walk than able-bodied individuals. They are subject to social …
