This paper presents a comprehensive review of natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs)
for lower-limb prosthetic designs. It covers the characteristics, types, and properties of …

People with unilateral transfemoral amputation using socket prostheses are at increased risk
for developing osteoarthritis in both the residual hip and intact lower-limb joints …

Amputation imposes significant challenges in locomotion to millions of people with limb loss
worldwide. The decline in the use of the residual limb results in muscle atrophy that affects …

Introduction: Due to loss in musculoskeletal capacity, there is an increased burden on the
residual limbs of bilateral transfemoral and through-knee persons with limb loss. This …

Bone-anchored limbs (BALs) are socket prosthesis alternatives, directly fixing to residual
bone via osseointegrated implant. There is a need to quantify multi-level effects of …

Background Currently, there is little available in-depth analysis of the biomechanical effect of
different prostheses on the musculoskeletal system function and residual limb internal …

Individuals with transfemoral lower limb amputations walk with adapted gait. These kinetic
and kinematic compensatory strategies will manifest as differences in muscle recruitment …

Individuals with lower-limb amputations, many of whom have type 2 diabetes, experience
impaired musculoskeletal health. This study:(1) compared residual and intact limbs of …

Patients with transfemoral amputation (TFA) are at an increased risk of secondary
musculoskeleteal comorbidities, primarily due to asymmetric joint loading. Amputated limb …

Objective: There is a lack of innovation in affordable prosthetic knee joints for children. One
significant reason is the absence of technical requirements which consider the foundation of …
