[HTML][HTML] Impact on the biomechanics of overground gait of using an 'Echelon'hydraulic ankle–foot device in unilateral trans-tibial and trans-femoral amputees

AR De Asha, R Munjal, J Kulkarni, JG Buckley - Clinical Biomechanics, 2014 - Elsevier
Background If a prosthetic foot creates resistance to forwards shank rotation as it deforms
during loading, it will exert a braking effect on centre of mass progression. The present study …

The aim of this thesis was to determine the biomechanical adaptations made by active
unilateral trans-tibial amputees when they used a prosthesis incorporating a hydraulically …

Ramp descent is a demanding task for trans-tibial amputees, due to the difficulty in
controlling body weight progression over the prosthetic foot. A deeper understanding of the …
