In recent years, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are becoming increasingly attractive for sensing
applications in biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering due to their advantageous …

The human–prosthesis interface is one of the most complicated challenges facing the field of
prosthetics, despite substantive investments in research and development by researchers …

The distribution of interface stresses between the residual limb and prosthetic socket of a
transtibial amputee has been considered as a direct indicator of the socket quality fit and …

Socket is an important part of every prosthetic limb as an interface between the residual limb
and prosthetic components. Biomechanics of socket‐residual limb interface, especially the …

A sensor system for measurement of pressure and shear at the lower limb residuum/socket
interface is described. The system comprises of a flexible sensor unit and a data acquisition …

Introduction A key determinant of prosthesis use is the quality of fit of the prosthetic socket.
The socket surrounds the residual limb and applies the appropriate force distribution to the …

The recent use of graduated compression therapy for treatment of chronic venous disorders
such as leg ulcers and oedema has led to considerable research interest in flexible and low …

It has been proposed that finite element analysis can complement clinical decision making
for the appropriate design and manufacture of prosthetic sockets for amputees. However …

Pressure senor array is widely used in gait analysis and robotics. To meet the demand on
different sizes and reduce the manufacture costs, in this paper, we proposed a design …

Background Transtibial amputees encounter stairs and steps during their daily activities. The
excessive pressure between residual limb/socket may reduce the walking capability of …
