3D printing is the most suitable method to manufacture the frame parts of powered ankle-foot
prostheses but the compressive strength of the 3D-printed part needs to be ensured …

This comprehensive systematic review critically analyzes the current progress and
challenges in automating transtibial prosthesis alignment. The manual identification of …

Elastic actuators are broadly applied in the design of the powered ankle-foot prosthesis, so it
is a significant task to select and optimize a suitable elastic actuator. Dynamic models of …

A novel powered ankle–foot prosthesis is designed. The effect of wearing the novel
prosthesis and an energy-storage-and-return (ESAR) foot on lower-limb biomechanics is …

A variety of prosthetic ankles have been successfully developed to reproduce the locomotor
ability for lower limb amputees in daily lives. However, they have not been shown to …

In this study, artificial neural networks (NN) are applied to the design of a transtibial
prosthesis to adapt triplanar and bidirectional movements of human locomotion for …

The technical evolution of the prosthetic field is swift and the technical solutions for the limb
prostheses are found in a vast number of the specialized literature, therefore for good …

Introduction Approximately 89% of all service members with amputations do not return to
duty. Restoring intuitive neural control with somatosensory sensation is a key to improving …

Prosthetic feet are prescribed to individuals with major lower limb amputations who are
capable of ambulation. Of the thousands of steps taken each day on prosthetic feet, one in …

A novel powered ankle–foot prosthesis (RoMicP™) is designed for heavy amputees. A novel
elastic actuator, namely, a unidirectional parallel elastic actuator with series elastic element …
