The care and rehabilitation of individuals after lower limb amputation presents a substantial
and growing socioeconomic challenge. Clinical outcome is closely linked to successful …

The fast development of wearable electronic systems requires a sustainable energy source
that can harvest energy from the ambient environment and does not require frequent …

This study aimed to investigate normal and shear load sensor technology that has been
characterised and used at the human-device interface in prosthetic, orthotic and exoskeleton …

Velostat is a low-cost, low-profile electrical bagging material with piezoresistive properties,
making it an attractive option for in-socket pressure sensing. The focus of this research was …

Muscle activity and human motion are useful parameters to map the diagnosis, treatment,
and rehabilitation of neurological and movement disorders. In laboratory and clinical …

A decision support system (DSS) was developed that outputs suggestions for socket-
rectification actions to the prosthetist, aiming at improving the fitness of transfemoral …

Typically, the actual volume of the residual limb changes over time. This causes the
prosthesis to not fit, and then pain and skin disease. In this study, a prosthetic socket was …

Micro-processor controlled prosthetic legs (MPCPL) offer better functionality than
conventional prosthetic legs as they use actuators to replace missing joint function. This …

Introduction Actuated lower limb prostheses, including powered (active) and semi-active
(quasi-passive) joints, are endowed with controllable power and/or impedance, which can …

A miniaturized quarter-wavelength microstrip patch antenna is developed to monitor the
mechanical deformation of building structures. In order to minimize the physical dimension …
